Friendship Fountain has been closed for the last couple of weeks for maintenance and upgrades to make it even better, and the Southbank attraction will be back up and running at noon tomorrow. Plus, the new playground next to the fountain will have its grand opening Saturday along with an Easter Eggstravaganza. Check out the new pirate-themed playset and partake in egg hunts, photos with the Easter Bunny, crafts, food trucks and more. The free celebration runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
