Weekend / what to do / Vesak long-weekend
Not an exhaustive list. This is a stable weekend decision page: three templates (free outdoors + rain backup / family expo half-day / low-crowd Vesak route) plus two risk checks that save time: TEL adjustments for 29–30 May, and late-May thundery showers + crowd time-cost.
