To help you plan, check out the week-by-week schdedule of vendors, artists, and musicians, and read the weekly Fresh Picks newsletter arriving each Thursday beginning in two weeks.

Primary Election May 19: Alcohol Sales at Lansdowne Theater?
Here's the deal: If you want to help the Lansdowne Theater reopen as a viable performing arts venue where you can purchase an alcoholic beverage at a performance, it's imperative that you vote 'yes' for the referendum on the May 19 ballot. The referendum would allow a very specific license to be issued to performing arts facilities operated by non-profit corporations AND have 500 or more seats, and the only building in Lansdowne meeting these qualifiers is the Lansdowne Theater. ONLY patrons of the theater would be allowed to purchase a drink; drinks must be consumed in the theater. Regardless of your registered party-- Democrat, Republican or Independent -- you are eligible to, and encouraged to, vote on this referendum.
Memorial Day 5K, Parade
While it's too late for free race shirts and early bird rates, there's still time to sign up to take part in the ninth annual Lansdowne Memorial Day 5K. The USA Track and Field-certified race begins at 7:45 am on Monday, May 25, and will be followed by the Memorial Day parade beginning at 9 am. The parade route starts Lansdowne and Lacrosse Avenues and ends at the Penn Wood High School field for Memorial Day ceremonies.
