We’re headed toward a full moon night on Wednesday, which means an abundance of events, parties, good times, sunshine, makeout sessions, and queer mothers. Maybe you’ll feel like you can’t stand being trapped inside of your own skin. Don’t worry, that’s totally normal. The full moon makes us all a little crazy. Just embrace it, and attend these seven fantastic local events!
(The prediction for the week by your fave amateur astrologer/solitary witch, aka yours truly, hereby ends.)
If you want more local events, head straight to our community events calendar!
