March is on the way and the days are getting longer! We gain an extra hour of daylight on Sunday, March 8 when we 'spring forward' into Daylight Saving Time. Don't forget to set your clocks forward an hour before bed on Saturday, March 7.
In March, we also celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Plan ahead
Plan ahead for Randolph College's Science Festival, with Science Day and Science Day for Little Scientists on March 28. Register for Science Day 2026 at Randolph College HERE. The popular Science Day and Science Day for Little Scientist events fill up quickly, so don't wait too long to register your child.
We'll help you plan ahead to Find Your Family Fun® with our FREE Lynchburg Macaroni Kid newsletter and event calendar.
As the weather gets warmer, many families look forward to spending more time outdoors. Spring begins in mid-March with the vernal or spring equinox on March 20, the day when there are as many hours of daylight as darkness.
Plan for a fun-filled month with your family as you celebrate March, spring, and the arrival of Daylight Saving Time!
