Hello weekend. Here you are, all dolled up with nowhere to go.

It would be sad to spend the whole weekend indoors. Environment Canada is promising us mild temperatures and sunshine from Friday to Sunday. The daytime highs are expected to reach 17 to 21 C and the lows 8 to 10. Be sure to wear your sunscreen and a hat to help with the days full of sunny skies.

Remember to social distance whether you head out to a rally, enjoy the drive-in or stay in for a concert. It's up to us to keep each other safe from COVID-19. Check out these four things happening in the Hamilton area this weekend:

RALLIES

On Friday, there will be a rally held in support of Black organizations in Hamilton in the city hall forecourt at 4 p.m.

Three rallies will also be held on Saturday afternoon. The first rally will take place at Gore Park from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The second peaceful protest" is set for 2 p.m. at Dundurn Park, with participants marching to city hall, according to organizer Amani Williams. All those participating are asked to wear masks and bring signs. A solidarity march is set to take place in Waterdown on Saturday, June 13, at 2 p.m. in Memorial Park.

CONCERT

Burlington's Walk Off The Earth and the Barenaked Ladies are featured on Saturday's episode of Bud Stage At Home. Stream or watch the concert, which will start at 8 p.m. It can be seen live on City TV; online at https://bit.ly/CityTVBudStageAtHome for those in Canada; or viewed at LiveNation.com if you are outside Canada. This concert is part of the four part #BudStageAtHome series.

STARLITE DRIVE-IN

Stoney Creek's Starlite Drive-in is open with three screens running from Friday to Thursday. Tickets are only available online. Visit premiertheatres.ca/starlite. The movies are a little older and you will need to bring your own popcorn. The washrooms are open. Attendees are required to remain in their vehicle. No open seating - like back of the pickup truck - is allowed and the children's playground is also closed.

INTERVAL HOUSE

Jump in on this fantastic fundraiser for Hamilton's Interval House. Order the suggested 6-pack today so you are ready for a virtual wine tasting being held on Thursday, June 25, 8 p.m., at Pearl Morissette Winery in Jordan. A portion of the proceeds from the wine packages purchased go to Interval House. It's simple - order the suggested 6-pack, then log on to the ZOOM event for a tasting of the wines, where you can ask questions and learn from the Pearl Morissette winemaker.
