This weekend's pick: Strawberry Festival
Burlington gets one clear day this weekend, with rain rolling in Sunday afternoon. The outdoor stuff is doing the heavy lifting Saturday — the Strawberry Festival opens at 10am at Spencer Smith Park before the parking fills up. Sunday tilts indoor: the library has storytime and the Discovery Centre is open all day. Skip the lakeshore walk Sunday unless you've got rain gear.
