This weekend includes a free sword swallowing exhibition, a yoga dance party, a Bill Murray inspired art show, more sample sales and celebrity moderated discussions with cast members from some of your favorite T.V. shows. Grab some friends or go at it alone, but most importantly have fun and enjoy yourself!
