I’m looking for some free or low-cost entertainment options in my area.
What are some of your favorite budget-friendly activities or places to visit where you live?
Whether it’s parks, community events, local attractions, or hidden gems, I’d love to hear your recommendations.
Any tips for making the most out of these experiences would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for sharing!
BrendaSupport your local high school music, choral, band, theatre, orchestra etc. Our local high school is excellent!!!
CrystalLibraries have so much more than books! Many of them have concerts, crafts, museum passes and more!
CharlotteSummer concerts (either free or very cheep) and movies in the parks.
SherriOur local park has a summer entertainment series. Free concerts 4 times a week, free movies every week, free fitness classes each week.
Kids Bowl Free program.
Library.
Free swim times at local pools.
The museums have free days.
WilmaGoing to the parks … playing cards at the senior center. going to the library …
plays and musicals at local schools and colleges …
check out your local church.
also check out your community center.
The local parks has different classes for all ages.
AllisonMy area has free bands in the parks on Thursday, Fridays and often on Saturdays during the summer.
Lots of people dance.
Some parks have free outdoor movies in the summer, on different nights from the bands.
RachelMusic at the parks but there’s always food/drinks vendors that tempt my husband.
Monthly outdoor kids’ movies at the ampitheatre.
Summer programs for kids at the library. That’s about it.
Even an hour’s swim at the pool is $7 per person so we just stay home all the time as it’s the only free option.
Only exception is the weekly farmers market where wandering is free but I buy our summer produce there so it’s not technically free but it’s an event wrapped up with grocery shopping that I’m going to do anyways.
DianeWe have lots of venues (festivals somewhere close most every week end) that include free music from local musicians, then the local colleges have free recitals at the school of music.
The colleges also have art galleries, museums that are free and put on low cost summerstock style plays regularly.
We also enjoy watching the free independent league baseball and softball games (not to mention T-Ball, the little kids are so cute) at our park and Recreation facilities.
We also enjoy fishing at the public parks that have lakes or near rivers.
Our nearby town is BIG on Football (University of Alabama) and tailgaiting with friends (& watching the game on the Jumbo Trons is free if the game is sold out and it almost always is) is cheaper than eating a meal out.
We also take turns & rotate homes to gather with friends have a meal (usually something like a taco bar, spaghetti or fish fry) and play cards or board games or do a TV event (we were all big Fans of Yellowstone) about once a week.
