5 planets visible plus moon
Starting on the 22nd you can go outside just after sunset and see 5 planets plus the moon. It will last for a week or two, then won't happen again until 2008. You can see four planets for the next several months.

Well, since it is supposed to last for 2 weeks or so, you always have next weekend to get away...

Also.... the Vernal Equinox occurs in about 2.5 hours (1:49 AM EST, 10:49 PST)

And on the 24th, a nice conjunction of the four-day-old crescent Moon with Venus.
