Great news! There are plenty of things to keep you busy on P.E.I. for what is being forecast as a mostly sunny June weekend.

Here's a taste of what's on offer this weekend across the Island.

1. Walk to End ALS

If you're looking for a healthy outdoor activity with the aim of raising funds for a great cause — you've hit the jackpot.

People from across the Island will be doing a five-kilometre walk in Charlottetown on Saturday to raise funds for ALS research.

The event has already surpassed its fundraising goal of $10,000 with more than $11,000 raised so far.

Registration will begin at 9 a.m. at Victoria Park in Charlottetown before the walk officially starts at 10 a.m. You can head here for more details.

2. Middle Eastern Festival

This festival promises food, fun, and dance lessons — and admissions is free. There will be a dunk tank and face painting available as well.

The event is being hosted by the Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church and starts at 11 a.m. on Sunday at Simmons Arena in Charlottetown.

3. Stompin' Tom Connors tribute

If you're in the mood for some folk music, head to the Harbourfront Theatre in Summerside on Saturday for a night of tributes to beloved Canadian folk singer Stompin' Tom Connors.

The show is being headlined by Island singer Chad Matthews, with special guest Katie McGarry.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show runs until 9 p.m.

If you haven't Marie-Kondo'd your life, Saturday could be your chance to reap the rewards of Islanders who have.

Organizers expect the Trinty United Church annual yard sale to have a large selection of plants, books, crafts and garden tools up for grabs.

All items will be sold indoors at the church on Prince Street in Charlottetown from 8 a.m. until noon.

Shows will be on all weekend from Friday through Sunday at 7 p.m. starring Rebecca Parrent as Anne and Hugh Ritchie as Gilbert. (Submitted by Campbell Webster)

5. Anne and Gilbert

If you're really keen, you could get your theatre fix before the summer crowds arrive and while the Confederation Centre's summer festival shows are still in rehearsal.

Anne and Gilbert plays at The Guild, with shows Friday through Sunday.
