Fortunately, there are many live performances and other indoor events happening around Westchester this weekend.

Visit the County Center to see all your favorites from WWE Live. Learn the basics of modern dance from Danceworks at the White Plains Public Library or take advantage of the opportunity to see The Yonkers Philharmonic and the West Point Ragtime Band as they both give free performances on Sunday.
If you’re thinking ahead to summer camps, visit Bounce in Yorktown Heights to learn about the JCC Camp Discovery, the School of the Holy Child to learn about The Challenge Camp, and Rye Country Day School to learn about all types of camp programs in the US and abroad.
