Finding something to do on the weekend doesn't have to be a challenging task. Especially when you got us here to give you a leg up with some choices. If your weekends have been feeling a little dull, let's help you figure out some things to do this weekend.

The CSRA has a lot to offer when it comes to finding something to do on the weekend. You've just got to find it.

Sometimes you may end up with a weekend where your schedule is absolutely free and left wondering how can I spend this weekend, instead of letting it go to waste.

Well, there are outdoor activities like swimming, going for a walk, or going to the park.

Then there are your inside activities like taking a dance class, reading a book, or even doing some cooking.

Of course, the list doesn't just stop there. While you can do those things listed above - there are also opportunities to catch fun events and activities on the weekend that aren't reoccurring.

That's where the helpful list below comes in.

Having a successful weekend is all about planning. You're more than likely to get up and do something that you had planned or set on. Whereas something that just comes out of the blue, may work out, but most times you will not be all the way convinced to stop what you are doing to go. Even if you are just lying on the couch. The couch can feel like it has a hold on you sometimes, especially if a streaming service is in the mix.

Weekends can even off set a tough week you might've had. Might even get you in a good mood to look forward to the coming week.

Below you will find 6 things to do in August this weekend to get you going. These events and activities range from kid-friendly to pup-friendly.
