5 Things to Do This Weekend: March 12-13

Slowly but surely, spring is making itself known, and while warmth and sunlight make miniature cameos, flickering in and out intermittently and unreliably, you surely will want to be there to catch it and enjoy it.

 

It’s Thursday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend.

Dedham Patch is coming to the rescue. We’ve got the best bets for your done-work-outta-here time. Check our picks for the activities to hit and new bars/restaurants/shops to explore.

  1. Vegan Cooking Class
    Where/When: Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the First Church and Parish
    Why go: Some say meat is murder; if you subscribe to such a doctrine or just want to add a few pages to your repertoire of healthy recipes, this class is a must.
    Pricing: Free
  2. John Demers Acoustic Solo Performance
    Where/When: At the Village Manor this Saturday at 9:30 p.m.
