Instead, cheer up with ThisWeekinWorcester’s list of five great weekend events that will keep you smiling this Saturday and Sunday. Stay warm and dry this weekend as you find thrilling activities all over the Worcester area. 

Don’t be cooped up at home when you can stay snug playing board games at a brewery or heat up by dancing to the best songs of the 90’s! 

 

Transport yourself to the 1990s!
