Here are five picks of things to do in Worcester this weekend:

  1. Purple Rain purple party at MB Lounge: Party like it’s 1999 at MB Lounge on Saturday, April 19, as the iconic sound and style of Prince takes over the night. Doors open at 7 PM, and the purple party kicks off at p.m.—get in free before 9, or pay a $10 cover after. Don your best purple look for a costume contest with $100 for first place and $50 for runner-up. Sequins, ruffles, velvet—whatever screams Prince. Come ready to dance, celebrate, and go crazy to all the classics.
  2. Egg-stravaganza at North High: Hop over to North High School (140 Harrington Way, Worcester) on Saturday, April 19, at 1 p.m. for a massive free egg hunt hosted by Vox Church—now rescheduled due to weather. Expect 11,000 eggs, bounce houses, food, and balloons for the kids. A fun-filled afternoon for the whole family.
  3. Color outside the lines at Worcester’s first Holi Day Festival: Get ready to splash into spring at Worcester’s first-ever outdoor Holi celebration. Happening Sunday, April 20, at 12:30 p.m. at Maya Lounge, this high-energy, color-packed festival features Bollywood and Bhangra beats, a live dhol performance, color play zone, themed drinks, dancing, and more. $10 cover includes a color pack—just wear white and prepare to get vibrant.
  4. Nine years of Tumbao: dance, dazzle, repeat: Celebrate nearly a decade of nonstop rhythm at Tumbao’s 9th Anniversary Bash on Saturday, April 19, at Worcester Beer Garden and Taproom, featuring salsa workshops starting at 6 p.m., social dancing at 9 p.m., and dazzling performances at 10:30 p.m. from dance teams across New England and New York. With DJs Blackmamba and Andres keeping the energy high, this is your chance to move, connect, and party Tumbao-style.
  5. Who’s been sleeping in your house? Curious about the past lives of your home? Head to the Saxe Room at Worcester Public Library’s main branch on Saturday, April 19, from 3–4 p.m. for a session with Local History and Genealogy Librarian Alex, who’ll share tools, tips, and tricks to uncover the fascinating stories of former residents.
