Saturday, Nov. 14 is the big day this week. 🎉 You can launch pumpkins from a cannon in Street, see Finding Neverland in Havre de Grace, sing the Messiah in Bel Air and catch a Led Zeppelin tribute at night.

Weekdays are quieter, but there is still plenty. Think free library fun, nature programs and a few great date nights. I checked every item below on the host's page or an official county or city listing, and each event links to the host's page or an official county or city listing.

Saturday date night: dinner in Havre de Grace, then Zeppelin Reimagined at 8.
Sunday: Herp Hibernation at 1:30 if your kids love critters, or the 2 p.m. matinee of Finding Neverland.

Small events can change fast, especially outdoor ones. Check the host link the morning of.
