7 Bergen Events To Check Out This Weekend
It’s technically still winter, but these family-fun activities will surely get you out of the house.
It’s been rainy and dreary all week, so we imagine you’re itching to get out of the house this weekend. But it’s still a bit too early to start gardening, and local sports aren’t quite ready either: Bergen County’s public golf courses officially open on Monday, and most Little Leagues are still a couple of weeks from opening day. Not to worry!
Below are seven events happening this weekend that will not only get you off the couch, but they’ll also provide several hours of fun for the entire family. Make sure you check out one or more of the following:
