Manchester 06042

Weekend of February 13-15, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Cold and crisp with highs of 35-41°F and lows dipping into the teens; expect sunny skies on Friday and Saturday followed by cloudier conditions Sunday.

High traffic expected near the Shoppes at Buckland Hills and Main Street due to holiday dining and retail peak.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Frank Caliendo Live at the Funny Bone

Shows Friday 6:30 PM & 9:30 PM, Saturday 6:00 PM & 9:00 PM, Sunday 6:00 PM

"Perfect high-energy indoor date night or group activity that avoids the biting wind. Caliendo’s impressions are a high-trust crowd-pleaser for both active professionals and families with older kids."

PRO TIP: Arrive 45 minutes early for seating as this venue operates on a first-come, first-served basis for your ticket tier, and Buckland Hills parking will be congested.
