Everyone–including children– loves it when there is a public holiday. Whether it falls on the first day of the week or a weekday and no matter how short it is, the break is always embraced with open arms.
Not knowing what to do with all the time on your hands can be annoying. What better way to enjoy the day off work than to try out some of these 10 fun things to do on a public holiday.
1.Try out a new restaurant: There’s always a new spot springing up in this city, and the holiday is a good time to check them out. Restaurants are less busy doing the week, so you can enjoy their service even better. If you can go with your loved one (s) take the opportunity.
2. Catch up on your favourite shows: if you do not want to spend your day outside, you can opt for NetFlix and chills. Do it alone, with your partner, family or friends, binge-watching is a thing and can be done on public holidays.
3. Beach day, fun day: put a basket of goodies together, get your sunscreen, sunshades, put on your comfy beachwear, and voila! You are ready to have a good day at the beach. Whether you go alone or with people, you will have a lot of fun spending your day at the beach. Be sure to adhere to Covid-19 protocols.
4. Daycation at a nature reserve: another incredible thing you can do on a public holiday is to visit places like LUFASI, Lakowe Gardens, or Lekki Conservation Center if you are in Lagos. If you are in Ibadan, you can go to Agodi Gardens or IITA.
5. Visit the art gallery: you don’t have to be a die-hard fan of the arts to appreciate it. You can take time to admire other people’s work or do something of your own.
