Top events this weekend

Happy August! As we head into this last full month of summer, there is one word on my mind: sun. And indeed, it’s popping up everywhere — from this weekend’s (mostly) sunny forecast, to the sunflower festivals starting soon, to daydreaming about a trip to this stunning resort destination for families. My top 10 weekend events make the most of the summer weekend ahead, as does this week’s playground of the week.
