A pride celebration will take place in Suburban Square on Saturday, featuring live drag performances.

From Friday through Sunday, Ru Paul's "Drive N Drag" touring show will be in King of Prussia.

Bike, hike, or run the Schuylkill River Trail

This weekend will feature at least one perfect late spring, early summer type day on Saturday, as the National Weather Service is calling for mostly sunny skies with a high of 80.

The Schuylkill River Trail parallels the river uninterrupted for miles in either direction. Some of the wildest and most scenic stretches of the trail are in Montgomery County, with expansive views off the top of the rising bank as it approaches Indian Lane between Norristown and Valley Forge. Trailside daffodils and perennials are a common sight, and the trees will be thickening with greenery over the coming month. From Norristown, a short ride, walk, or run to the east takes you to the Conshohocken Brewing Company, and to the west to Valley Forge National Historical Park's Betzwood trailhead. It also offers connections to the Perkiomen Valley Trail, Cross County Trail, and Wissahickon Park via Manayunk. The trail was recently named one of the best riverwalks in America by USAToday.

Explore a new restaurant

Montgomery County's restaurant and bar scene is working its way back from a brutal pandemic. A new barbecue joint is open in King of Prussia.

In July, the county's 1,800 establishments will participate in "Crave Montco," a series of discounts, promotions, and special menus aimed to kickstart the local economy.
