The autumnal equinox is coming up on Tuesday, September 22nd, making this the last weekend of summer! It looks to be lovely, weather-wise, allowing us to make the most of the many activities on offer in and near our neighborhood.
Of course, there’s the Great Wallingford Bratwurst Festival, the Oktoberfest-esque neighborhood party for young and old alike. But there are many other things going on as well. We’ve covered some of this in Wallyhood already, and they are on the Wallingford Event Calendar, but here’s a roundup:
