We have reached the end of another week – one that coincided with the end of October as well as the start of November. Even though the weather does not look promising, it’s time to relax, recoup, live your best life, and have an amazing time at these hot events during the first weekend of November.
Check out our top five things to do this weekend:
2 November: Night market pop-up
Arts on Main is headed to 44 Stanley or a fabulous night market pop-up. In addition to all the shops and restaurants staying open late, your favourite market vendors will be scattered around the centre. Enjoy and soak up the night sky on 2 November.
