March 4th Weekly Roundup Feature

Happy March 4th!

We’re happy to be back this week with all of the hottest releases! Honestly, our weekly roundup feature is getting so massive- I wonder if we should keep it as is or if we should create a separate post for events/news? As you can see, we have several events at the top of this post. Thoughts? I’m thinking we could have an event announcements post as well as the roundup. Hmm- it’s a thought to ponder! Keep in mind, The Festival Voice is all about festivals and so we’ve been focusing our posts on that!
