Earlier this week, we brought you a few tips on embracing spring cleaning and the season. But now that you’ve done the work, it’s time to enjoy the best part of spring: the outdoor festivals, fairs, and maybe a little bougainvillea peeping.

We put together a few ideas for getting outside the house:

  • Old Northeast is hosting its first-ever Art In the Garden Tour Saturday, April 15. from 1 to4 p.m. Mosey on down the historic neighborhood’s brick streets on a self-guided tour, checking out work from 13 artists, live harp and guitar performances, and more.
