SATURDAY

SUNDAY

Green Eggs and Ham Brunch Garage Bar Free  |  11 a.m.-4 p.m. Celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday with a special “Green Eggs and Ham”-inspired brunch. There will be warm beignets, yogurt and berries, French toast and eggs and ham. Top it all off with a few mimosas, and then you’ll be ready to play table tennis or corn hole  at Garage Bar. For the kids, there will be an egg hunt.
