What is open

Mother’s Day is not a city holiday; the city’s holiday trash schedule has no change that weekend.

What this means for you

  • The city brunch required registration in 2026; watch the parks calendar from April.
  • Sunken Gardens does not open until noon on Sundays, so plan Mother’s Day visits for the afternoon.
  • The Saturday Morning Market on May 8 is one of the last of its season.
