I hope everyone survived the great weekend! There was so much happening, and the weather was amazing! This next week continues on with Festival season with a huge line up. Palestinian Festival runs Friday to Sunday at City Hall, the Nepean Psychic Festival is also on Friday to Sunday at the Nepean Sportsplex, Toolfest is on Wednesday and Thursday at Sala San Marco, TealFest runs Saturday at RCGT Park, Lumiere Festival is on Saturday at the New Edinburgh Park, and Nostalgia Music Fest is on Friday – Sunday at Lebreton Flats.
The Highlight of the week though, is PRIDE….there are tones of activities throughout the city supporting Pride week, so you’ll have to go and have a look at the full list on their website.
My top three events of the week:
- 613 Flea (Saturday, Aberdeen Pavilion)
