The sun has stuck around a lot longer than usual and hopefully will continue that trend with warm nights, cool breezes and good times. Spread that blanket out on the grass and go for a picnic, listen to some classical music or take a ride on the carousel - there's lots of opportunities for fun this weekend.
1 Get soul searching on Friday evening to prepare for your relaxing weekend with Peter Hudoba, spiritual teacher.
Learn the basic theory of self-healing, health-empowering techniques and how to achieve inner peace. The free seminar is happening on the main floor of the lecture room at the Bob Prittie library branch, at 6100 Willingdon Ave. from 7 to 8: 30 p.m.

2 Get your bargain on at the Outdoor Flea Market in the parking lot at Willingdon Community Centre, 1491 Carleton Ave. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 13. See what you can find in the piles of potential treasures and nifty knickknacks as many tables will feature dishes, figurines, books, clothes, toys, jewelry, lamps, small furniture and other odds and ends.

3 Get your fill of organic produce, crafts and locally grown or made goodies at the Burnaby Farmers' Market on Saturday, July 13. Spend the morning or afternoon buying colourful and delicious food, listening to live music, reading at the book exchange or playing in the children's tent from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the city hall parking lot at 4949 Canada Way. 4 Get listening to a program of light classics and popular favourites in Deer Lake Park on Sunday, July 14. The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra will be playing the 25th Annual Symphony in the Park from 7: 30 to 9: 30 p.m., but come early with a blanket and picnic basket in hand to get your seat for a lovely evening of great music under the sky.
5 Get gleefully dizzy at the Burnaby Village Museum by taking part in the carousel tour in the Carousel Pavilion. The free tour features the century-old city treasure at 1: 30 p.m., but arrive early to avoid disappointment. The museum is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. For more
