The weekend is finally here!

Our lineup of top things to do is a little bit different this time around. With all of the efforts being made to gather donations for Puerto Rico, we find it important to not only highlight the local events going on for PR, but to also encourage anyone to donate if you have the means to do so. If you know of any other fundraisers going on this month, please let us know and we’ll keep adding them in!

Want to find some other events? Our Event Calendar has plenty of options.
