Hi everyone!

This weekend marks the beginning of the end-of-the-year holidays and the festive mood that comes with it. The needs of sharing and giving fill us warmly despite the cold outside, so we take the chance to meet with our families of blood and heart again. These feelings of joy also swell as we see the city fill with lights all around. Therefore, today we bring an extended edition of the Weekend Event Guide stretched until Monday, when Bike the Lights at Winter Wonderland takes place. Here’s a post from Jonathan describing the event and some ways to get there by bike.

Enjoy!

Maybe the Unity Ride has been going long enough that it’s no longer necessary to say, but it seems like the description should mention that it’s for women, trans, and non-binary folx. (If you click through to the event page you will see that in the event image, though.)
