Hey Weekenders —

Spring is finally starting to show up… and so are the events.

This weekend in South Jersey is loaded with Easter events, live music, outdoor markets, and some really unique experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

If you’ve been stuck inside all winter — this is your excuse to get out.

Let’s get into it

Top Events

⚾ Phillies Opening Weekend is HERE

(And Expectations Are High)

📅 Games: Thursday, Saturday & Sunday
📍 Citizens Bank Park — Philadelphia

Baseball is back… and there’s real excitement around this Phillies team.

Opening Weekend kicks off at Citizens Bank Park, and expectations are high this year. With a loaded roster and another deep run in sight, this team isn’t just hoping to compete — they’re expected to make noise again.

Whether you’re heading down to the stadium or just catching the game locally, this is one of the best weekends of the year to tap into that energy.

There’s nothing like Opening Day at the ballpark — packed stands, cold beers, and that first pitch feeling. But if you’re staying local, bars all over South Jersey will have the games on, making it the perfect excuse to grab a drink, meet up with friends, and settle into baseball season.
