When the weather is nice, I like to sit outside and listen to street musicians. I live in NYC so there are tons of people doing that here. I also like to people watch in the park.

I also go to the library or free art shows when I can find them.

[...] What Is Your Favorite Cultural Activity That Doesn’t Cost Money? This is one of those articles where the article itself isn’t much but it’s generated a bunch of interesting and useful comments. My favorite? Walking the streets of a town and photographing interesting things (architecture, people, events, etc.).

The gallery crawls I used to go to in Charlotte, back when I was at college. A whole street of nothing but art galleries, from folk-art to wood sculpture to paintings, photos, and sophisticated glasswork, punk to posh, all in one street, which for that one night each month was packed with artists, art-lovers, and other kindred spirits. There was often an impromptu drum circle at one end, and a bar at the end of the street usually had some band or other playing, and sometimes you could hear music from the bigger concerts in the city, carried on the wind.

The college I attend has a small art gallery that anyone can go to for free. They also swap out art fairly often.

If you're ever in Providence, RI during the summer, make sure you go to one of the WaterFires. It happens about every other Saturday during the summer months and runs from sunset to just after midnight. The city lights bonfires all along the rivers through the city. It's a great show and there are always local musicians and artists showing off their talents at outside showcases all over the city. If you don't get there early enough to get [free] street parking, park in the Providence Place Mall parking garage, which will cost you $1-$5 for the night [depending on how long you stay].

I live in Barbados and for free cultural activity I'd have to say when I'm on a bus, even on routes I've traveled many times, I love staring out the window catching every glimpse of quirky local architecture – from little precariously perched chattel houses to sky-hogging monster hotels – there's always something new to notice. I do this wherever I go once I'm not driving and this is the first time I've realized that while I love being in the drivers seat, I think I love being able to kick back and do this just as much!
