Are you tired out from a boring, terrible work week? You need to have some fun. Let loose!
Head outside this weekend and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. Sure, it's not 80˚F yet, but it's the perfect weather for some early spring sunshine.
This weekend is full of events and activities that will make you get up off of the couch and spend it outdoors.
Remember, your Netflix binge-watching can wait until the weeknights.
Here are some can't miss activities going down in New York City this weekend:

There will be prizes, entertainment, live music, and vendors selling food and drinks.
Queens International Night Market (Corona Park - Queens)
Last weekend, the Queens International Night Market was packed, which means you might have missed out on the crowds. So, no FOMO when everything's slow po. Not a saying, but you get it, right?

Head to the Queens International Night Market this Saturday from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. for a night of delicious food and live entertainment.
Thursday, April 28th to Sunday, May 1st
Bad Film Festival (85 North 1st Street - Brooklyn)
Ever seen a movie so bad it's good? You need to hit up the Bad Film Festival happening all weekend long at Cloud City in Williamsburg.
The films are meant to engage and entertain the audience while making them think about where that line between "good" and "bad" lies, and why. Of course, you won't be seeing "bad" films, as the title is rather tongue-in-cheek. Or you will. Who knows?
