CALENDAR

Prince William Living’s calendar is prepared several weeks before the magazine is printed. A lot can happen between the time the calendar is prepared and the date of the event. Yoga studios and gyms are offering both live and virtual classes. Libraries, churches, and businesses are offering online events along with some in-person events. The Prince William Chamber of Commerce (pwchamber.org) has been offering webinars. We encourage you to continue ordering takeout and delivery from local restaurants. Visit our online edition (princewilliamliving.com) for up-to-date information. And check with the venue to confirm any events.
