Whether you are looking to enjoy an evening in 1930s Southeast Asia, donate some money to a charitable cause while sipping some happy-hour brews, or just want to sit back and enjoy an underwater mermaid show, there's something for you to do in South Florida this weekend.

This Saturday, the party starts at 3 p.m. to celebrate Longboard's three-year anniversary party in West Palm Beach.

If all you want to do this weekend is kick back and relax with your favorite cocktail and some friends, we hear you. But why not enjoy a little entertainment while you're at it?

2. Humane Hollywood at Mickey Byrne's
Are you one of those people who can quote your favorite lines from more than a dozen movies? And you like dressing up in costume? This Saturday, Halloween comes early for movie lovers. Well, sort of. Take the opportunity to get decked out like your favorite Hollywood celebrity, and head to Hollywood's Mickey Byrne's Irish Pub and Restaurant for a chance to participate in their Humane Hollywood fundraiser benefiting the Humane Society of Broward County.

Adoptable pets will also be onsite during the event, so you might even have the chance to take home a furry friend in need of a loving home.
1. Yappy Hour Fundraiser at Funky Buddha
Nothing says "yappy hour" like a good milk bone -- or milk stout, for that matter. If your canine friend enjoys an evening happy hour as much as you do, take your furry (and nonfurry) friends for a walk to the Funky Buddha's Friends of Greyhounds fundraiser event on Sunday. The brewery is teaming up with Friends of Greyhounds Dog Rescue, a volunteer, nonprofit organization based in South Florida whose mission is to provide retired racing greyhounds with a caring environment and loving homes. They are considered the final ray of hope for greyhounds that have no place to go after they retire from racing. The event is free to attend and starts at 4 p.m. There will be a raffle and prizes awarded to those who give donations. In addition, during the event, a $5 donation will get get you a wristband that entitles you to an extra special happy-hour deal: $1 off all Funky Buddha drafts until 8 p.m.
