15 Best Things To Do In March

1. Start by spring cleaning

March is the perfect time of the year to throw open the windows, crank up the music, and get down to spring cleaning.

But where do you start?

First things first, make a plan. Decide which areas of your home need the most attention and create a checklist to keep yourself on track.

Gather all your cleaning supplies and tackle one room at a time, starting from the top down.

Dust those hard-to-reach corners, scrub those neglected surfaces, and don’t be afraid to Marie Kondo your way through your belongings – if it doesn’t spark joy, it’s time to say goodbye!

Take the opportunity to freshen up your decor, rearrange your furniture for a new look, and maybe even treat yourself to some fresh flowers to bring a little springtime cheer indoors.

2. Buy some spring fashion clothes

With cold days behind you, it’s time to put away your bulky sweaters and say hello to flowy dresses, vibrant colors, and lightweight fabrics.

Hit up your favorite stores or browse online for the latest spring trends, and don’t forget to add a touch of March magic with pastel hues and floral patterns.

Don’t forget to mix and match pieces to create versatile outfits that you can wear to the park and outdoor brunches with friends.

3. Plant a garden

Whether you have a spacious backyard or just a tiny balcony, there’s always room for a little greenery.

This March, pick out some colorful flowers, herbs, or veggies, and get planting!

Not only is gardening a great way to connect with nature, but it’s also a pure way to reduce stress and improve your mood.

Plus, there’s nothing quite like the taste of homegrown produce straight from the garden.

There’s also something incredibly satisfying about getting your hands dirty and watching a garden bloom.

You’ll feel like a proud mama throughout the journey of your baby plants.

4. Pick up an outdoor sport

Why not take advantage of the longer and warmer March days by picking up a new outdoor sport this spring?

You don’t need to be a seasoned athlete to play games and have fun. From cycling and hiking to soccer and tennis, the options are endless.

Not only will you get a fantastic workout, but you’ll also have the chance to explore new places and connect with nature in a whole new way.

I’m picking up badminton this season. I used to play it as a kid and am looking forward to reacquainting myself with this fun sport.

5. Spring cleaning for the mind

Just as we tidy up our homes during spring cleaning, it’s essential to declutter the mind too.

Take some time in March to engage in some mental spring cleaning.

Start by setting aside a quiet moment each day for reflection, meditation, or journaling.

Use this time to let go of any negative thoughts or worries that may be weighing you down and focus on cultivating a positive mindset instead.

Try some mindfulness practices or gratitude exercises to center yourself and appreciate the beauty of the present moment.

You might also benefit from decluttering your digital life by unsubscribing from unnecessary emails, organizing your digital files, and taking breaks from social media to reduce screen time.

By decluttering your mind and embracing mental clarity, you’ll feel lighter, more focused, and ready to take on whatever challenges come your way going forward.

6. Do your renovation projects

If you’ve been contemplating home renovations or DIY projects, March is a great month to start as the days are just the right level of warm.

You might want to repaint your room, fix any leaky faucets, or tackle larger renovation projects to freshen up your living space can breathe new life into your home.

You could even update your kitchen with modern appliances, transform your bathroom into a spa-like oasis, or create an outdoor retreat in your backyard to enjoy the new seasons ahead.

7. Visit a botanical garden

As spring begins to unfold, botanical gardens are a sight to behold with vibrant blooms and lush greenery.

Embrace the natural beauty of March by planning a visit to a botanical garden near you.

Take a stroll through the winding pathways, marvel at exotic flowers from around the world, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature.

Many botanical gardens also host special events and exhibitions throughout March, from flower shows to guided tours, providing endless opportunities for discovery and inspiration.

So pack a picnic, grab your camera, and spend a day surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature at a botanical garden.

It’s the perfect way to welcome the arrival of spring!

8. Plan a BBQ

As much as I love trying new things alone, nothing beats the joy of spending an evening full of laughter with loved ones.

With the sun shining and temperatures rising, there’s no better time to fire up the grill than March.

Choose a scenic spot like a local park, beach, or even your backyard, and set the stage for a memorable gathering.

Prepare an array of mouthwatering dishes, from juicy burgers and grilled veggies to refreshing salads and fruit kebabs.

Don’t forget to bring along some games or a deck of cards to keep everyone entertained, and capture the lovely moments on your phone.

9. Prepare seasonal treats and meals

March comes with plenty of fresh spring produce like crisp asparagus, tender peas, vibrant strawberries, and tangy rhubarb.

Using these ingredients in the kitchen is the perfect way to mark the beginning of a new season.

Put on your apron and whip up some seasonal favorites like strawberry shortcake, asparagus risotto, or rhubarb pie.

Look up spring treats and meal recipes on YouTube and try out whatever appeals to you.

Also, please share some of your treats with a kind neighbor and your loved ones. After all, sharing is caring!

10. Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

I first got to know about St. Patrick’s Day while watching ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and it’s stayed with me ever since.

The celebration isn’t big in my country, but it does take place, and I’ll be joining the parade this year.

Whether you have Irish roots or enjoy the festive spirit, St. Patrick’s Day is a fun occasion to celebrate with friends and family.

Join in the festivities on March 17th by attending parades, dressing in green, and indulging in traditional Irish food and drinks with your loved ones.

11. Have some fun outdoor adventures

You can avoid outdoor activities throughout the year, but it’d be nothing short of illegal to not step outdoors in March.

Your body, mind, and soul deserve to experience the blossoming season, which is why you need to tick off a couple of outdoor adventures this month.

Here are some outdoor March activities you can enjoy:

Fruit picking
Camping
Hiking
Bike riding
Picnics in local parks
Birdwatching

12. Celebrate the Spring Equinox

The Spring Equinox is a celestial event that heralds the official start of the spring season.

On this day, the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in nearly equal lengths of day and night.

It’s a time of balance and renewal, as nature begins to awaken from its winter slumber and the days gradually grow longer.

Recognize the beauty of this day by spending time outdoors.

You can take a leisurely nature walk, practice yoga in the park, or simply sit quietly and soak up the sunshine by your window.

You may even plant a seed, take a salt bath, or do some journaling under a tree.

Whatever you choose to do, do it with the intention and utmost mindfulness.

This year, the Spring Equinox will be on March 19, 2024.

13. Attend a local festival

Many communities host spring festivals featuring live music, food vendors, and arts and crafts.

Check out what’s happening in your area and immerse yourself in the local culture. I’m going to attend The Tulip Festival in my city.

I didn’t even know something like this existed until I looked up spring festivities in my area.

I am pretty confident you’ll find some local spring festivities too if you look around. Google exists for a reason, you know.

Once you find something like a cherry blossom festival or a street fair that excites you, mark it in your calendar and show up solo or with a friend.

14. Capture the changing season on camera

Take advantage of the changing scenery and beautiful light of spring by embarking on photography expeditions.

Explore new locations, capture the vibrant colors of blooming flowers, and take random shots of the sun and the trees.

This can be a fun side project to work on.

You can look back on your spring memories and smile on a cold night later down the road.

15. Plan Your Summer Vacation

Don’t put off your summer vacation planning for later. It’s no fun rushing through your hotel bookings or having to pay extra for flight tickets.

Ask around in your friend circle and family to see who’s interested in joining, and meet up with the party to plan the vacation and make the necessary arrangements.

You can pick a beachy spot, a quiet hill station, or an unpopular destination to try something new.

And hey, if nothing works out with anyone else, you can always go for a solo vacation.

I’ll be taking a solo trip to Goa this year and am so hyped about getting to do it on my own.

Hope you have a blast whichever way you go!
