March comes in like a lion with celebrations for St. Patrick's Day, Makers Day, and other early spring activities. 

Give a (hopefully) warm welcome to the change of seasons in March with the celebration of springtime holidays at events like Kids' St. Patrick's Celebration, complete with step dancing and music, and NJ Makers Day at Whitesbog Historical Village, with a variety of building stations. Showstopping performances round out a merry March, including Sesame Street Live! Say Hello and Flip Circus. 

These are just a few of our favorite things to do in New Jersey this March—we're adding more events to the New Jersey Events Calendar every day.
