Our vibrant cities, towns and neighborhoods offer an extensive array of things to do. We’ve included hundreds of them in this guide: concerts and musicals, snow sports, community celebrations, fine arts exhibits, festivals and parades, parks and nature centers, golf, water slides, theatres, skateboard parks, farmers markets, county fairs, boat cruises, craft shows, berrypicking, 5K and 10K races, apple orchard tours — we even have a renowned sculpture park and wildlife science center nearby. Check out our community parks section and “Nightlife” page listing nearby breweries and wineries and local venues for live music. New residents will be surprised at all of the recreational opportunities offered locally. Even longtime residents may not be aware of the wealth of activities available in and around our area.
