The holidays might be over, but the festivities are going for at least one more weekend. Shouldn’t you be getting out to enjoy one last trip to Zoolights (until next winter, anyway), or a magical performance like Biglittlethings? Even if you’re all holidayed out, it’s your last chance to catch Scream! (the Goose Bumps exhibit) at OMSI, Beauty and the Beast at the Newmark Theater, and Tiger Lilly and Sunny Lu at Do Jump! (They all close Sunday.)
Here are a few tempting treats to get you out this weekend:
