Forget Friday… Thursday is the new greatest day of the week.
With all these events going on in the city that you can check out, it’s hard to argue against Thursday being considered at least an honourary part of the weekend — pre-weekend, if you will.
However you see it, one thing is for sure: This Thursday is full of fun stuff to do, so you’d better make the most of it!
