Daylight savings time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, when clocks will skip ahead an hour. This is especially important for anyone working that day, but those making weekend plans should also keep it in mind.

Here are some events taking place this Sunday in Philadelphia, which you might miss if you don't properly plan for daylight savings time:
Philadelphia Flower Show
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Convention Center (1101 Arch St.)
Founded in 1829, the Philadelphia Flower Show is the world's oldest and largest indoor horticultural event. The event showcases displays by the world's premier floral, garden and landscaping designers.
Sunday, March 8 is also the last day. So make sure you set your clocks so you don't miss it or feel rushed when you get there.
Manayunk Restaurant Week
Through Sunday, March 8, at participating Manayunk restaurants
Experience the Manayunk neighborhood's culinary scene during Restaurant Week, when participating eateries offer three-course, prix-fixe meals at $15 to $45 per person.
Not only does Restaurant Week close out on Sunday, but the time change could throw off your usual eating schedule. So it's important to prepare for daylight saving time so you're not cranky or impatient with restaurant staff.
Garden Glow at Longwood Gardens
5-10 p.m. Sunday at Longwood Gardens (1001 Longwood Rd., Kennett Square)
The Conservatory and Main Fountain Garden Districts will be illuminated for one last weekend, taking you through colorful, glowing paths inside the historic conservatories.
Garden Glow will also run from 5-10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, which will be your best bets to avoid any daylight savings time snafus. But if you attend on Sunday, make sure to adjust your clocks. Because after Sunday night, Garden Glow won't be there waiting for you anymore.
Indivisible: Stories of Strength
Running through Sunday at the American Swedish Historical Museum in FDR Park
"Indivisible" explores Philadelphian identity — both native and immigrant — through a video series, collaborative art pieces and the work of artists from the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Association Coalition (SEAMAAC).
This exhibition is in its final weekend, closing with a free Community Day celebration that runs from 12-4 p.m. Sunday.
Here's more info on Indivisible, plus the free Community Day.
Traitors: A Real Life Competition of Traitors and Faithfuls
5-7 p.m. Sunday at Evil Genius Beer Company (1727 N Front St., Fishtown)
If you've enjoyed "The Traitors" on Peacock, now you can compete in a game of deceit, challenges, murder and over-the-top Scottish accents.
At the beginning of the night, several attendees will be secretly given the role of "traitor," assigned to eliminate as many "faithfuls" as they can without being detected. Meanwhile, faithfuls will work to detect the murderers and eliminate them from the game.
You know what's worse than being a traitor? Being an hour late. So make sure you strategize early and set your clocks for daylight savings time.
