90's Rock Tributes and Fairground Traditions
Manchester enters a great weekend for community fairs and live tributes, even with rain likely on Saturday and Sunday. Between the massive scale of the Big E Fair and specific rock sets in Pawling, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the region's energy.
Expect high temperatures around 65 and lows near 51 with rain showers becoming likely by Saturday. The best outdoor window is early morning on any day this weekend before the heat builds.
