20 Affordable Ways to De-stress

20. Attend Free Community Events

Summertime means community festivals, street fairs, and celebrations – most of which are free! Take advantage of these events by gathering a group of friends together to peruse craft fairs or sample tasty treats. You don’t have to spend any money, but if you see a beautiful hand-painted teapot that you can’t live without, you’re welcome to splurge a little.

Many free community events include music or movies. Davis, California hosts “Movies in the Park” all summer long. The city erects a giant projection screen and invites the community to bring their lawn chairs and sleeping bags to Central Park for a free movie.

Cost: Free or however much you want to spend. Walk or take public transportation to save money and reduce emissions!
More Info: Check your local community center or City Hall. Google “summer festivals” and your town and state
