The first official weekend of spring is gonna be a wet one, but don’t let that keep you from Friends of Noise’s Spring Breakfest ’25, Found Footage Festival’s 20th Anniversary Show, a Seed Swap & Garden Talk at Vivienne Culinary Books, or Leach Botanical Garden’s Spring Equinox Garden Fair. For more ideas, check out our top event picks of the week.
FRIDAY
COMMUNITY
Newroz Piroz Be! Celebration of Spring
Kurdish New Year, or Newroz, is celebrated each year around the spring equinox, which was this past Thursday. Join the folks at Nomadic Vintage Rugs for their celebration featuring traditional dancing, cultural snacks, and live saz music (and no, that’s not a typo of the word “sax,” the saz is a long-necked lute integral to Kurdish folk music). Additional food and drink will be available for purchase alongside the gorgeous handwoven rugs the establishment is known for. SHANNON LUBETICH
