These are for Birmingham but could be applied to your city:

History/nature walks at Red Mtn Park
Local theater
UAB/Samford theater or musical performances
Lectures at art museum, libraries, colleges
Classic or indie movies at Sidewalk
Classic movies at the Alabama
Food festivals
Charity events like dragon boat race, flea market at a brewery, latern thing, chilli cook off
Farmers market (I go pretty much every Saturday rain or shine)
Opera Bham (including free local hour long performances at breweries, bars)
AL Symphony (free tickets thru my library, also symphony in park if we here over Memorial Day weekend)
Religious events like Holi, day of the dead, Lenten sermons, or others that are open to the public
Local park for a stroll or hike
Pickleball
UAB/Samford/UA Olympic sports like rowing or volleyball or gymnastics. Baseball/softball also.
PGA srs tour event
Indy race at Barber
World Ganes (will do police and fireman’s games when they are here)
Rickwood Classic
Minor league baseball and hockey
Cemetery tours
Local history/civil rights tours
Local festivals like German Xmas in Cullman, Bessemer BBQ fest, We Love Homewood day
“Tourist” spots like some salvage place on HGTV, art exhibit in this guys front yard, Barber motorcycle museum, events at Vulcan (hate they cancelled their fall concert series)

We keep a shared note that has the date and link to stuff that we might want to do. I used to love live music but not as much anymore. So she we will add shows she’s interested in and also look for touring comedians. Most of the other stuff above is mine.

We’ve also started watching shows together that one or both of us missed (or rewatching something). Curb, Sopranos, the Wire.

I also plan little weekend trips here and there.

Honestly; we have a ton to do and end up missing a lot just to relax and enjoy the quiet.
