BeltLandia Weekender, May 6th – 8th

Is it just us, or did this week last longer than normal?

We hope you take advantage of celebrating Cinco de Mayo in full force but be sure to reserve some energy for this jam-packed weekend extravaganza we have lined up for you.

Between the festivals, art shows and concerts, there is sure to be an event out there for everyone to enjoy. This is the final weekend for Cirque du Soleil’s visit to the Big Peach – if you’ve somehow missed the giant yellow and blue tent sitting by Atlantic Station, now is your chance to snag some tickets before they hit the road to Boston.

This is also our one and only warning to you: Sunday, May 8^th is MOTHER’S DAY. We have a special list of some fun ways to treat your mom. Whether she is a sports fan or a brunch fan (aren’t we all), she is bound to enjoy the time spent with her sweet kiddo.

And if you’re still struggling with gift ideas, click on the pic above, print it, and cut into separate tickets.

You’re welcome.
