Or scroll down to the bottom and join our referral program to win cool Vibe merch or get a birthday shoutout in an upcoming edition.
We have had some great suggestions about types of events to include with a special shoutout to reader Paul M. for our new ‘Getting Active’ section.
Now that Halloween is out of the way you know what that means? Baubles, tinsel and Mariah Carey on repeat. 🎶 If all you want for Christmas is You, wonderful, but for everyone else there is now a separate Holiday Events and Christmas Markets section.
Every Thursday, you'll also find all the latest events, fun things to do and places to go in and around The Hammer. If you know of upcoming events you think others should know about, please hit reply and let me know so we can include it in an upcoming issue.
Thank you for reading and sharing.
