|---|---|
| Headline gigs & big events: most major concerts and festivals land on Saturday night. | Markets & culture: brunch spots, markets and galleries are usually a Sunday move. |
| Crowds: busy from midday, peaking 1-4pm in central areas. | Crowds: quieter until early afternoon, building from 11am and easing by 3pm. |
