DATE NIGHT: It's the Holiday Season...

The calendars are full of holiday-related events this weekend and the month is just beginning. Here are some reasons to tear yourself away from the mall this weekend and get in the holiday spirit. Join in a community celebration with your special someone! Saturday is going to be amazing! I hope your calendar has been cleared.

Stadium will be engulfed in Victorian England for the Dickens Festival.

From there it’s a short walk down to do some local shopping at the Holiday Artist Market and stop by to see the tree in front of the Pantages. If you have a good singing voice, we suggest a serenade of O Tannenbaum.

Since you’ll be in the area, it’s a perfect time for a bottle of wine and pasta at Ravenous.

Afterward, it’s back up the hill for the must-visit event of the weekend, the Beautiful Angle Holiday Benefit and Poster Sale Saturday evening at Blackwater.

What a day!
