Hey there, Greenwood residents! March is shaping up to be an incredibly vibrant month for arts and culture in our charming little city. From mesmerizing performances to local exhibits, there’s something for everyone to enjoy from March 8 to March 19, 2025.
Weather Watch!
Before diving into the festivities, let’s talk about the weather! On March 8, we’re expecting a delightful day with sunshine in the morning and a few clouds rolling in later. The high is a pleasant 74°F, so it’s the perfect opportunity to step outside and soak up the sunshine. Light winds from the west at 10 to 20 mph will make for a wonderful day, but be prepared for the evening to turn a bit cooler. Expect a low of around 44°F as the skies become more overcast overnight. So, keep a light jacket handy if you’re planning to head out!
