These days also bring plenty of reasons to get in a food mood—market tastings, dinners featuring local ingredients, and themed events where you can combine music, drinks, and family-friendly activities. If you prefer a more active pace, there are also runs, bike rides, and sports shows scattered across different parts of the city and nearby areas.
