32 things to do in St. John's this weekend

Another weekend, another excuse to get out in St. John's. There are 32 events happening Oct 02–Oct 04, and honestly? The lineup is better than we expected. Here's what we'd actually spend our own time and money on.

Quick read on the weekend: library and community events, 12 events on Saturday alone, and 1 of the weekend's events are free.

If you're deciding between Friday and Saturday: Saturday wins on sheer volume (12 vs 12), but Friday has the pick of the library crowd. Your call.
