Let’s be honest here: Tuesdays really aren’t all that exciting. There’s more work to do and the weekend is a long ways away.
All the more reason why today is the perfect day to get out into the city and find something extra fun to make today a little more bearable.
We’ve put together a few of our favourite events happening today for you to check out.
