April 22: Good Friday, Earth Day, More

Today is both Earth Day and Good Friday! No matter which one you plan to observe, we’ve got something for you to do! For Good Friday, check out the special service and Easter concert going on at Capital Christian. But if you’d prefer to take in some greenery for Earth Day, Effie Yeaw Nature Center invites you to take a tour through one of its many trails. If you’re not sure which one you’d rather observe, but would still like to have fun, you can build with some LEGOs at the library, check out some live music at Strings or plan your weekend with our (aptly named) Weekend Planner.

1. Head over to today at 12:15 p.m. for a special Good Friday service. If you can’t make it for their lunchtime service, you’re in luck! The Christian center will also be holding a free Easter concert starting tonight at 7:30 p.m. featuring 100 choir members from Capital Choir, a 40-piece orchestra and more!
2. Start the weekend off with some music and pizza! will host bands and singers alike for live music tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Come out to enjoy some music with your dinner.
