Now that our feeds have quieted down following a day of International Workers' Day protests and grocery store boycotts, we're looking forward to a weekend full of so much stuff to do that's we're positive we missed something.
There's peak energy all around right now, from new announced architectural and landscape designs reshaping the city to big municipal and industrial developments (not all good, but bear with us), and it's not even close to the zenith of the year. There's good juice to drink in bars, a lot of events around Cinco de Mayo and May 4th Star Wars hokum, and some Taylor Swift-themed burleque—more than enough to go 'round.

Activities, parties, points of interest, art exhibitions, you name it: These are the weekend events you don't want to miss.
