The monotony of our schedules and daily life chores barely allow us to explore the cities we live in and bask in the fun activities they offer for recreation. But thankfully, we have the weekend to do just that and more. So here’s a list of events that you can attend instead of just lying down on the couch (although the latter is also our favourite activity).
