BeltLandia Weekender: June 3rd – 5th, 2016

It has come to my attention that we have an underappreciated holiday on our hands. Today, I would like you to join me in celebrating National Doughnut Day (this is not a drill)! I would highly encourage you to take this opportunity to indulge in this beloved breakfast/pastry item before kicking off your weekend.

This week may have been short but that gives you no reason to shorten your expectations for this weekend’s events. As always, we have gathered a plethora of happenings throughout the city for your merriment. You can follow my lead by hitting up Piedmont Park for some vino and grub tonight (after some Dunkin, of course)!
