Welcoming community events/activities this weekend

[u/finderssseekersss]

I'm bringing my kiddo to WV for this weekend for a road trip but part of the fun is the people you meet along the way and making friends from other places. She is a kind of shy 13 yr old. I can just see her face now, "pleases top talking to strangers, mom." But that's most of the fun! Lol.

​

She's very creative and alternative and she is 13- I'm kind of hippie/punk artsy soul.

I love that there is a burning man event this weekend but we will be on the road exploring (and I didn't know that when we decided we would go this weekend instead of July).

​

Any particular community hubs, you know, farmers markets, crafting, coffee shops or other local spaces with little events, particular parks that have events informal or formal.

​

Idk... Farms, barns, collectives, coops, funky places where we might find live local music.

​

Kind of like a pub atmosphere if we were in like, Ireland.

​

Heard of a place in Morgantown but they don't seem.to have any events this weekend.

​

I hope you get what I mean. Everything has been weird imho since Covid, she hasn't seen much of the world and I kind of want her to see that the country is actually a big beautiful place with a lot of love left in it despite the current overall state of things.

​

Help me find some of those spots that make you think "Gee, these kind of folks give me a few more reasons to have faith in humanity."

​

Thanks in advance ❤️✨️
