Top 10 events this weekend

Happy Memorial Day weekend! I like to think of it as an unofficial start to summer. Indeed, there are signs of the season ahead, with the sun peeking through the clouds in the forecast. Even more so, it’s opening weekend for Wild Waves. And everyone is buzzing with excitement over the newest playground in town. Plus, my top 10 events celebrate the three-day weekend ahead, with ways to honor service members, explore the beach at low tide, and get a free scoop of ice cream.
