CLEVELAND — Have you lived in Northeast Ohio forever, or maybe you're new to the area? Whatever your story, the region has tons to offer when it comes to experiences and adventures.
However, at times it can be hard to find and narrow down the best ways to spend your time. That's where I come in.
Normally, I keep you up to date on the latest pop culture stories every day in "Pop Break" on "What's New" at 5 p.m. But now, with this new segment "3 Things Poppin' in Northeast Ohio," I'll be sharing with you my picks for trendy things to do on the weekends!
So without further delay, here's what I think you should check out in this weekend, Sept. 30 through Oct. 2!
German Day Cleveland
Up first, how about celebrating German culture?
On Saturday from 12:30 in the afternoon to 6 p.m., German Day Cleveland is being celebrated in Parma. Guests will be able to enjoy authentic music, food, and so much more.

If that’s not your style, how about checking out some local food trucks? The seventh annual Crocker Park Food Truck Challenge is returning this Saturday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
According to organizers, this year's event is bigger and better, with even more food trucks vying for one of the many "best of" titles. Attendees can enjoy the competition and live music as they vote for their favorite dishes.
