• Residents are spoilt for choice with art exhibitions, winter bazaars, car shows, and tech competitions
• There’s something to delight everyone in the capital

ISLAMABAD: Thank God it’s Friday. 
And if you fall in the category of those residents who prefer being out and about, there’s plenty of options to choose from, what with art exhibitions, winter bazaars, car shows, and tech competitions taking up the top spots this weekend.
For starters, Serena hotels are hosting a vintage and classic car show on Friday night. An event which can delight both avid and amateur car enthusiasts, the exhibition will showcase the personal collection of individuals who have put their passion and energy into the restoration and preservation of vintage vehicles.
If that does nothing to rev up your engines, how about a short course on hacking for takeaway? Visit the National Convention Center where JAZZ mobile is teaming up with CODE for Pakistan for a weekend-long hackathon. The three-day event will require you to work with other attendees to create prototypes to address civic and social problems.
Next on the list is the Winter Fete which is being held on Saturday. In its third year, the exhibition brings together various fashion and lifestyle brands under one platform – the perfect indulgence for those who love shopping.
Moving on, this one is probably having the last laugh (or loaf?). Polly & Other Stories will be at Loafology for a pop-up day on Saturday, December 12, to share their well-curated collection of goods. After a successful run in Lahore a few weeks ago, the group will work with local artisans, artists, and brands to showcase goods that you can empty your pockets for, even as you bite into that delicious croissant on site from Loafology.
You could even head to the Arts and Crafts Village at the Pakistan-China Center where My Art World will once again prove why they are the best in the business. Packed with a powerhouse of talent, their latest chapter, titled ‘Urban Agglomeration’, will run until December 13 and feature work by artists such as Amal Uppal, Waleed Zafar, Risham Faiz, and Neha Maqsood.
Last, but not the least, wrap up your weekend with Hot Spot where Nirvana Event Management has set up an open mic and bonfire night for those looking to relax and have fun at the same time.
