An art opening at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens, tons of trivia and glassblowing await you this weekend:

Friday: Tell-Tale Tiles & Fractured Fantasies Opening
Philadelphia features a massive amount of public art, but perhaps none is so recognizable as the work of Isaiah Zagar, whose mosaic murals decorate walls in the South Street area and beyond. On Friday evening, a new juried show is opening at Zagar's Magic Gardens, featuring narrative work in tile and mosaic arts.

Saturday: Quizzo Bowl VI
Local quizmaster Johnny Goodtimes' massive annual Quizzo event promises $1,400 in prize money and lots of entertainment. Just make sure to get tickets for your team of eight or fewer people before the day of the event; there's a good chance it will sell out.

Sunday: Make Your Own Glass Easter Egg
Blowing glass is awesome...and expensive...and notoriously difficult. Get an easy introduction to glassblowing - and a neat takeaway - with Hudson Beach Glass' egg-making sessions. This class is appropriate for adults and children 10-and-up; all you need to do is make an appointment.
