Cheers to CHStoday’s first official weekend guide post-launch. 🥂
Here’s the deal: Each Friday, we’ll give you the scoop on what’s happening around town all weekend long.
This weekend is all about getting wild. SEWE is taking over Chucktown, with all kinds of ways you can channel your inner Jack Hanna (including hanging out with Jack Hanna himself). You can check out an entire guide on that here.
On Saturday, Folly’s Center Street will transform into Bourbon Street for a Folly Gras celebration. And no matter what you end up doing, remember to share your end-of-the-week celebrations with us by using the #CHStoday hashtag.
