For the social butterfly, start booking out your weekends ahead of time! It’s almost festival season and one of the best ways to take advantage of those 3-day weekends is gathering a group of friends to go to a local music festival. These days it seems like there’s a major festival in practically every city at some point during the summer. Check out JamBase to find festivals near you.

Sometimes the best weekends are ones where you have nothing planned except relaxing at home. If you’re a homebody, chances are the last thing you’ll want to do for a long weekend is to rush around to different parties and activities. What sounds much more enticing is getting cozy at home. Whether that means breakfast in bed, Netflix binges, or an afternoon on the couch reading a new novel, there is literally no shortage of hobbies to do at home. If you live at a Fairfield community, you can also take advantage of all the community amenities right outside your door like a social lounge or pool deck – even barbecue with friends without leaving home.

If you’re the type of person that just has to get out of town during a 3-day weekend, chances are you need no advice on how to make the most of your long weekend. Skip town and head to favorite local spots to go camping or book an AirBnB with your love for a romantic weekend. Better yet, hop in the car with friends with no destination in mind – just impulsive road trip that will be filled with awesome stories to tell your co-workers after the weekend is over.

No matter what your weekend “type” is, don’t let your weekend slide by with unexpected chores and errands. Plan ahead to make the most of your 3-day weekends this summer!
