Festival season begins

April is typically when the outdoor events calendar starts filling in — festivals, markets and open-air performances return as days lengthen.

  • Look for the first big open-air festivals and food markets of the year
  • Catch Easter and spring-holiday programming for families
  • Book early for May and summer festivals, which often sell out ahead of time
