Best of the Weekend
May Days: Celebrations and festivals, as reliable a sign of spring as you could ask for, are starting to pop up like the dandelions in your yard. With the Tribeca film festival just in the rear view mirror, Jazz fest in New Orleans under way and the Kentucky Derby happening this weekend, the big thaw is really happening. The weather’s getting so clement in Denver, they’re taking off their pants in public. Elsewhere, things are on the move: Cuban culture is brashly making itself known in New York, a Dallas restaurateur is set to combine nightclub, restaurant and art gallery; and the Miami neighborhood of Overtown makes a bid to reclaim its nobler history. Wherever you are, here’s hoping you’re ready to make some joyful noise. After the winter just over … you’ve earned it

What's Happening This Weekend Photos

Weekend Events Everyone seems be showing their spring fever in different ways. Some play experimental music on the cello -- accompanied by beatboxing. Others pay cheeky homage to a video game, or just bare it all (well, almost) in a risqué burlesque exhibit. Avocados become artillery in a culinary battle, while the gloves just go on in the legendary Chicago Golden Gloves championship. And in Washington, they wash it all back with some cask beer

What's Happening This Weekend

It's no joke: Spring brings fun both in the usual and surprising ways. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., is under way, the NCAA Final Four happens this weekend and the Sony Ericsson Open comes to a close in Miami. But there is also a very controversial hip-hop troupe of teens performing in Ponoma, Calif., bake sales happening across the country to aid Japan, a Mormon musical and a St. Stupid parade in San Francisco.
