This weekend is all about Mom, likely because she won’t let you forget, and so we’ve got brunch, some live music and a painting class to check out.

Though chances are you’ve got your Cinco de Mayo plans squared away, we’ve included a couple of spots you may have overlooked just below—lots of folklórico dancing! We also have a more extensive list, here.
