If your Beijing weekend plans currently consist of 'we'll figure it out Saturday morning,' consider this your intervention. 11 events are on Oct 02–Oct 04, and the good ones won't wait for you to decide.

What caught our eye: Travel and Hiking leads the weekend with 6 events, and 1 of the weekend's events are free.

If you're deciding between Saturday and Sunday: Sunday wins on sheer volume (2 vs 9), but Saturday has the pick of the travel and hiking crowd. Your call.
