Fancy getting a workout that is actually fun? The Color Run is one event you won’t want to miss. The 5km fun run is somewhat of a marathon and rave hybrid, where participants get doused in coloured powder as they pass each kilometre mark. The UV-reactive coloured powder glows under blacklight, so you can imagine just how Instaworthy your photos will turn out. Don’t forget to save some energy for the Finish Festival, where you can dance the night away to a myriad of colours.

Set in 1950s New York City, West Side Story is somewhat of a modern-day take on Romeo and Juliet. The iconic musical centres around two rival gangs and of course, a romance between a boy and girl from different sides of the turf. Filled with catchy songs and high-energy dance numbers, West Side Story is one musical that you won’t want to miss this month.
