Springtime in Suffolk — much like autumn in Suffolk — always brings a bevy of events to entertain the public.

This weekend will be among the busiest spring weekends this year, assuming the weather holds off and graces us with some rain-free skies. Some events are for family fun, some support specific organizations and some encourage physical fitness. They all encourage getting out and getting to know others in your community, and we hope you will be able to head out to some of the below events this Saturday.

• The Epsilon Theta Zeta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. will hold its annual FabulouZly Fit & Finer 5K Walk and Run at the Seaboard Coastline Trailhead in Driver.
