Our Luxury Calendar provides a comprehensive overview of the top events unfolding around the world every month. Some are micro-luxuries (like a really good book) and others are on a grand, epic scale. As we polish off our research we always dream a little dream about the entries that most intrigue or excite us – the ones we most passionately want to be a part of. If schedules and money were no object, and we could do anything we like, here are our top picks in the world of luxury experiences and events in March 2019.

And finally, the Great Migration – the exodus of African Americans from the South to the industrialized cities of the Northeast, Midwest and West from 1917 into the 1970s. With performances of bluegrass, old time, klezmer, Yiddish musical theater, blues, jazz, and more, the festival will celebrate the American musical traditions that flourished as a result – March 9 – April 15
