What to do this long weekend if you haven’t got a clue

It always seems to be the case that long weekends come up sooner than you can make plans for them – and if you’ve missed the memo, this weekend is of the three-day variety. Not one to put three days off to waste, we’ve picked a few events happening around town to make the most of it.
Australia Day Eve ft. Young Franco
Thursday, January 25
The Inn are known around town for throwing the best parties in the parking lot, and this one will be a killer. In celebration of Australia Day, they’ve flown in one of Australia’s best producers/DJs, Young Franco, to provide us all with a solid bass-line we can all do a shoey to. If you missed his set at Falls here’s your second chance!
