I’m writing this a little later than I would like, so I’m leaving off Friday events.

Here’s your list of some weekend to-dos in the Triangle:

SATURDAY

* It’s festival season. Here are a few you can check out today: Apex PeakFest, Wake Forest Meet in the Street Festival, Downtown Raleigh Festival of Hope, Carrboro Day, Strawberry Festival in Old North Durham Park. Of course there’s also World Beer Festival (which is where I’ll be), but I’m pretty sure both sessions are sold out. You may be able to find last minute tix on craigslist though. I wouldn’t advise paying over $65 unless you’re dying to go (they were about $60 each w/ fees for folks who ordered them online).

* If you love horses (or if a horse show is the closest your kid is going to come to getting a pony) then check out the May Days Annual Horse Show at the Hunt Horse Complex at the NC State Fairgrounds. The event is Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

* If you’re in the mood for comedy (you know I always plug comedy), the Triangle will see two professional comedians. You can see Bill Bellamy (who I’ll always remember from countless hours of watching “MTV Jamz” and “MTV Beach House”) at Goodnight’s Comedy Club in Raleigh. Or you can head to Durham Performing Arts Center to see the Mike Epps and Friends Comedy Show.

SUNDAY

* If you like jewelry, crafts, art, etc. do not miss The Handmade Market. The event features “hip handmade goods from 50 of the best and brightest independent designers, artists, and crafters from NC and beyond.” I went last year and walked away with a painting, keychain, necklace and an awesome seahorse shirt. (See pic I took at last year’s event on the right). The event is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Marbles Kids Museum.

* The May Days Annual Horse Show is also today (see above).

I’m positive there’s a lot more going on this weekend, but I didn’t have as much time to dig around this week as I would like. So, as always, feel free to add the weekend events you know about/are looking forward to in the comments section.

Have fun.
