OMED: If you are using this list for advance planning, bear in mind that the specific events days shift from year to year.  A weekend event in 2003 may have taken place on Novermber 21-22, but in 2004 and beyond, that same weekend would have different numeric dates -- just as the numeric date of your birthday remains the same, but the day of the week it happens each year changes.  So, if you find an event you like, go to our current Events page (link at top of page) and by using the local info links at the end of each area events package make sure sure 1) that it is happening again this year, and 2) exactly when it is taking place this time.
