Hey, Cola, Caitlin here. I know we are all still recovering from the NCAA tournament this past weekend – and all the celebrations that came with it. Lucky for you, the best upcoming events to attend are closer to the end of the week, so you have a few days to get some rest.

Make sure your days are cleared for these four #MustDo’s:

Indie Grits Film Festival | Thurs.-Sun., Mar. 28-31 | Times vary | The Nickelodeon Theatre | $150 for a general-admission weekend pass, $100 for members | Calling all popcorn + local film lovers – Indie Grits is loaded with flicks from the southeast. Additionally, entertain yourself at the arcade + jam out to live music performances. Individual screening tickets available.
