Spring is Coming

First day of spring is March 20, 2025

Does it really feel like spring when that date rolls around? Sometimes… sometimes it feels like spring prior to that, we like to call these occurrences, “Fake Spring”. Either way, it is safe to say, we are all a little tired of the cold weather and spring is much anticipated!

Things we get to look forward to in the Norfolk area as the weather sets into an upward trend are vast, but here is a week’s worth of ideas.

Shop for a new “in-season” fashionable wardrobe.

For men, women, and children, Downtown Norfolk River Point District and the Sunset Plaza Mall offer many options like Smitten and Steel, Kookaburra’s Kloset, Kohl’s & Renegade!
