This is the APPROXIMATE schedule for this year’s edition of The Thing in the Spring. If there are any big changes, we’ll update as soon as they happen, but sometimes things change, people are late, etc; please be patient if there is a change that affects your plans. This can be kind of an unwieldy beast at times!

Please note: These shows are all standing room; there will be some seating available, prioritized for folks that might need a seat. The shows are ALL AGES, though our partners at Brewbakers & Terra Nova Coffee will have beer and wine for sale, in addition to coffee, tea, and food. Read More: FAQ
