We already know you’re taking Mom out to brunch for Mother’s Day this weekend, but we have a few other ideas to celebrate the special lady.

✨ Take a short drive to Littlefield, Arizona, just across the state line, for the Lights Festival on Saturday, May 11. There will be a lantern release after dark and music from the ‘80s and ‘90s, which you already know Mom is gonna love.

🪭 Las Vegas is at the center of a burlesque revival. See what the art form is all about with Sinful M.I.L.K. Moms I’d Like to Know at 9 p.m. on May 11 at Fat Cat near Fremont Street.

🛍️ Fergusons Downtown hosts a Her Day Market of local vendors on May 11, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Return a day later on Mother’s Day for a free latte from Mothership with the code phrase “Every Day is Mother’s Day” 💗

🧘 Spring Mountain Ranch State Park has a free yoga session on the meadow on Mother’s Day at 5 p.m. Just bring your own mat and pay the entrance fee. The park also hosts regular Wednesday sessions, tailored toward new moms.
