📅 35+ Fun Things To Do In May

Happy Wednesday!

It’s hard to believe that May is here! Now that the weather has warmed up, A LOT is going on.

I decided to try something different with the event calendar this month. Instead of linking to events on a calendar, I just listed out as many fun events as I could find. 36 to be specific.

Sometimes multiple fun events are happening on the same day. With the calendar, I had to pick one. With this format, I can list them all.

Let me know which one you like better, and I’ll stick with it going forward.

Alrighty, let’s get to it!
