Fun Things to Do With Friends This Weekend

Most friend groups fall into the same loop: same bar, same couch, same group chat asking "what should we do?" Breaking the routine doesn't take a big budget — just a plan with a time and a place.

Ideas for this weekend

Catch a local band or an open mic. Go to a pickup game or a minor-league ballgame. Try a trivia or karaoke night. Take a group cooking class. Pick a trail and grab food after. Visit a museum on a free day. Hit a flea market or vintage fair. Sign up for a beginner class you've all been curious about — climbing, salsa, pottery.

Make it actually happen

Pick one concrete event instead of a vague "let's hang." Share a link, set a time and suggest where to meet. Plans with a real event attached are far less likely to fizzle.

Our Weekends ONLY calendars pull live music, comedy, games and art happening this Friday, Saturday and Sunday in cities across the U.S., so you can pick something in seconds.

When your friends can't make it

Moved to a new city or have friends who are always busy? You don't have to skip the show. On Let's Go Do! you can match in Friends mode with people who share your interests and want to go to the same kind of things — no pressure, no swiping on photos.
