Hello, Yangon! Can you feel it? The final weekend of March is rolling in with that familiar golden heat, but the city’s social calendar is keeping things even hotter. Whether you’re a culture vulture looking for the next big gallery opening, a foodie craving a collaborative feast, or just someone looking for a cold craft beer to beat the humidity, we’ve got you covered.
From the historic halls of The Secretariat to sunset parties by the river, here is how to make the most of your weekend.
Family Fun & Little Explorers
Looking for ways to keep the kids entertained? You’re in luck! This weekend is packed with high-energy activities for the younger crowd:
-
The Zoo Bazaar: Head over to the Yangon Zoo for a vibrant bazaar. It’s a kid’s paradise with toys, snacks, and a festive atmosphere perfect for a family stroll.
-
A Magic Carpet Ride: On Saturday evening, grab a blanket and head to the American Club Baseball Field for a screening of Aladdin. With complimentary popcorn and hotdogs, it’s the ultimate “cool parent” move.
-
Master the Pitch: For the active ones, The Skills Project is hosting football training at the BSY Campus. It’s a great way for kids (ages 3–12) to burn off some energy and build confidence.
The Culture Fix: Art & Soul
If you’re in the mood for something thought-provoking, The Secretariat is hosting “Pyar,” a solo exhibition that’s more than just paintings—it’s a multisensory blend of poetry and music. Over at the YWCA, the “Her Work, Her Worth” exhibition offers a beautiful, poignant look at the professional lives of women in both Myanmar and Spain through photography and music.
For the collectors, Gallery 65 is opening its doors for “The Collector Show – 4,” featuring rare works by Myanmar’s master artists. It’s a rare chance to see pieces that usually stay behind closed doors!
The Vibe: Saturday Night Fever
-
For the Nostalgic: Head to the Hexagon Complex for the Reboot 2000 Concert. Get ready to scream-sing along with Ye Lay and Examplez—it’s a total throwback.
-
For the Hop-Heads: Burbrit Brewery is throwing a Brewfest. Think homebrews, craft drafts, and wood-fired pizzas. It’s the ultimate chill Saturday setup.
-
For the Night Owls: Atlas Rooftop is the move for BACK2BASE. Expect House, Techno, and Baile Funk with the best skyline view in the city.
The Sunday Reset: Gourmet & Sunsets
Sunday is all about slowing down. We are particularly excited about TASTE Session 02 at ECHO, where Chef Orng teams up with artist Thyitar for a dining experience that blurs the line between food and fine art.
As the sun begins to dip, make your way to Elements Sunset Bar for Continental Sunset Party Vol. 2. With DJ Ko Lin spinning global tracks and the sky turning shades of orange and purple, it’s the perfect way to toast to the week ahead.
