Please let me know at_ _info@binghamtonian.news_\n\n☘️Happy Parade Week Binghamton! St. Patrick's Day celebrations are set to take over Downtown once again Saturday, and it actually against all odds looks like it will be a warm day!\n\n👨‍🎨And if you can believe it, it's a First Friday Art Walk once again! Make sure to take a peek into some of the art exhibits this weekend. 🎭Plus, Atomic Tom's storytelling event returns Thursday, Cider Mill finishes out its performances of **The Boys in the Band** and BHS puts on Something Rotten! to continue the High School Theatre season.\n\nAs a reminder, I am looking for contributing writers to cover arts and culture in the area!\n\n🫵Are you into local arts, food reviews, club and nonprofit features or anything along those lines?

The titular 'Alexander' treated me very well for lunch, and can't wait to try more of their sandwiches soon.\n\nProbably the only negative I can point to is seeing the run down but beautiful Strand and opera house buildings across the street continue to go unused. Here's hoping they can get revitalized soon.\n\n> _Let me know ways I can improve this newsletter!_\n\n* * *\n\n## Spotlights and Festivals\n\n**🛼Tues. 3/3****Final Adult Night: Skate Estate (Closes 3/8)**\n_Skate Estate, Vestal_\n6 pm - 9 pm\n\n**🎨🍷Fri. 3/6****Downtown Binghamton First Friday Art Walk**\n\"The Art Walk filled downtown Binghamton with a litany of art exhibitions, creative happenings, and dining experiences on the First Friday of every month.\"\n_Various Locations_\n6 pm - 9 pm\n\n**🍀🥁Sat. 3/7****St. Patrick's Day Parade**\n\"Marching down Court Street, turning into Main Street, and continuing all the way to Edwards street!
