13 Things to do this Weekend (Nov. 25-Nov. 27)

While our highs this weekend will be mild and certainly tolerable, the lows will be on the frigid side. For both Saturday and Sunday we will be below freezing, which simply means breaking out the comforter, snuggling and perhaps throwing a log on the fireplace. We’ll average daily highs of 50 degrees which for many of us is still “shorts” weather. It’s certainly just fine for those of us who want to head out and enjoy the many goings-on across the South Coast!

As always, click on the title for more or detailed information on the event. Most of the events were pulled from our event calendar where you can find hundreds of local area events each month. The event calendar is FREE, so if you are a local business, and not taking advantage of FREE publicity, shame on you! Are you a local business and want to sponsor this high traffic, weekend guide?
