Why it’s a good cheap date
Free events give you a shared thing to react to without either of you having to plan hard.
Every week there's something free happening: a night market at REXKL, a movie screening at a park, a weekend bazaar at Publika, live music at a café. Pick one, go early, and let the event be the excuse for a long conversation.
Tips
- Follow venues on Instagram. That's where free events get announced.
- Arrive 20 minutes early for the good seats or spots.
- Bring a mat for outdoor screenings.
Make it more romantic
- 1Buy one small thing from an independent maker as a keepsake.
- 2Take a photo with the event poster to remember the date.
- 3Make the event a tradition. Go every time it comes back.
- 4Bring a handwritten note and hand it over at the very end.
