Are you tired of the same weekend plans? Get inspired and break up the monotonous routine with ThisWeekinWorcester.com’s list of five fun events to fill your weekend! 

Spend your weekend outdoors and out of the house! Visit a local mountain, get spooked by an outdoor Halloween movie, or just indulge in some relaxation. 

 

The sky is the limit this weekend! 

The fun doesn’t stop this Friday through Sunday at Wachusett Mountain. Any day this weekend, spend your afternoon on the mountain enjoying delicious food, live music, and a thrilling sky ride!

Join the fun this Saturday from 11 AM to 5 PM and this Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. You can look forward to $10 skyrides for adults, food from O’Brien’s Bar and Grill, live bands, a workout class, and a beautiful view! 

 

Start your engines! 

This Saturday at 8 AM, Camp Marshall at the Worcester County 4-H Center in Spencer is hosting a tractor pull!

Visit 92 McCormick Road to enter or watch the event. Registration for the large tractor class is $10 per entry, so buckle up for a thrilling competition! 

 

Come by Ralph’s Rock Diner for music and movies! 

Prepare yourself for a late night this Saturday. Starting at 7:15, Ralph’s Rock Diner will be hosting their Night of the Living Drunks! This outdoor event will feature drinks, live music, and a horror movie projected on the outside wall.

The band, the Essays, will perform first from 7:15 to 8:15 PM followed by the band, Shore City, from 8:30 to 9:15 PM. The movie will air after the punk music!

Social distance guidelines must be followed. 

 

Admire local artists’ masterpieces! 

Every Thursday and Saturday from October 17 to November 14, head down to the Sprinkler Factory for their newest exhibit!

The exhibit is called SOLOS: Artists on a Mission and it will feature multiple collections of solo exhibits. Each solo show will feature nine works of art that have the same mission. Art enthusiasts must preregister for a free time slot between 2 PM to 7:30 PM. Only 20 people are allowed in the building at once. 

 

Candles will be popping at Sail to Trail Wineworks on Barber Avenue! 

Join Crazed Mom Candle Co for their pop up event this Saturday from 12 PM to 4 PM.

This event invites you to relax with wine tasting, lounging, and candles! Find the best seat on a hammock or lounge chair, buy a flight of wine, and treat yourself to candles for a restful afternoon!
