- Weather: mild for November. Highs around 14° Saturday and 19° Sunday from our West Lethbridge station, but Sunday turns gusty from the west-southwest.
- Free picks: a noon-hour violin and piano concert (Friday), an author evening at the library (Saturday) and a stamp carving workshop (Sunday).
- With the grandkids: Big Bird Little Bird: Grandparent Special at Helen Schuler Nature Centre, Saturday morning.
- Night out: the November Gallery Crawl downtown, the Symphony’s Cinema Paradiso, or the Hurricanes on Friday.
- Full list, filters and “add to calendar” buttons: Upcoming Events Around Lethbridge.
All too often we hear about a good event the Monday after it happened. So here’s what’s on around Lethbridge this weekend, while there’s still time to go. Times and details come from the organizers. It’s always worth tapping through to check before you head out.
The weekend weather
For early November this is a gift. Our station’s forecast has partly cloudy skies, a high near 14° Saturday with light winds, and a warm 19° Sunday. The catch is Sunday’s wind: west-southwest gusts in the 40s and 50s km/h. If you’re heading out to the coulees, Saturday is your calmer day. Nights still drop to around freezing, so bring a jacket for anything that runs late. See the latest forecast.
