Events This Week
The festivals, markets and big weekends — verified dates only, each with its source.
An absurdly dense festival calendar for a town of ten thousand — scattered across half a dozen sites. This page carries the verified dates only; if a date isn't published yet, it isn't here. The Rhododendron Festival, the town's oldest, returns in mid-May 2027 — 2027 dates weren't published when we last checked.
