This Weekend in Brunswick, Medina, Valley City & Hinckley (Sept 4-6)
Hey friends! Labor Day weekend is finally here, and it is the unofficial last hurrah of summer across our communities. I checked what is happening Friday through Sunday in Brunswick, Valley City, Medina, and Hinckley so you can make the most of every minute. Here is your weekend to-do list.
Brunswick & Brunswick Hills
The HEAT at Willow Lake Park is the big one this weekend: Saturday, September 5 at 7 PM at Willow Lake Park in Brunswick. It is billed as the ultimate end-of-summer party, with the HEAT playing live in the park. Grab a lawn chair and settle in for a relaxed evening of live tunes.
Third Monkey returns on Sunday, September 6 at 7 PM,also at Willow Lake Park,for a second night of free outdoor tunes. Bring the whole crew,because this band knows how to send summer off proper.
Mapleside Farms on Pearl Road starts easing into fall this month, with Pumpkin Village coming in September. Not an event for this exact weekend, but worth putting on your radar if you love a good autumn outing.
Medina
Medina Square Farmers Market is on Saturday, September 5 from 9 AM to 1 PM at Public Square. More than 70 vendors bring peak-season produce, cheeses, flowers, and baked goods every Saturday through October. It is the perfect way to start the day.
Native Plant Festival and Sale runs Saturday, September 5 from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Oenslager Nature Center, hosted by the Medina County Park District. Admission is free, and there is a native plant sale, monarch tagging, games, and crafts. A fun, hands-on outing for the whole family.
Valley City
Movie in the Park screens Toy Story 5 at Mill Stream Park on Friday, September 4 at 7 PM. Bring chairs,and blankets,andthe kids,for a family movie night under the stars. Admission is free,andthere is nothing quite like a September evening at the park.
Hinckley
I checked Hinckley and there is no confirmed festival on the books this weekend, but the Hinckley Reservation is always open. The trails around Hinckley Lake and up at Whipp's Ledges are gorgeous for a final hooray of summer hike. Pack a lunch and make an afternoon of it.
Whatever you get into, make the most of the last big weekend of summer. And if one of these communities has you thinking about a move, I would love to help you find the perfect place to call home.
