Weekend Guide to What's Going On in Lemon Grove—and Beyond

There's a big weekend ahead, with plenty to do and see, and lots of fun to be had.

Saturday offers an embarrassment of riches when it comes to goings on around town. And if you've caught your breath by Sunday and are looking for more action, you won't have far to go. 

Here's a look at the weekend:

The library has been open since May 20.
