1 Pull up a blanket or lawn chairs for a free showing of the classic comedy A Christmas Story on Friday on the lawn of the Riverwalk at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. No coolers, but you can buy movie snacks and beverages on-site. Bring a nonperishable food item or a new unwrapped toy to benefit Metropolitan Ministries and receive a free small popcorn and soft drink. The movie starts at 8 p.m. at 1010 N MacInnes Place in Tampa. Free

2 Join the ground-breaking celebration for the new Salvador Dali Museum at the corner of Bayshore Drive SE and Fifth Avenue SE in St. Petersburg. Festivities begin at 10: 30 a.m. Friday, with snacks, live music and Dali-esque surprises, plus a free tour of the current museum. See surrealizethedream.com (and if you can't make the opening, keep in mind admission is $5 after 5 p.m. every Thursday). Free

3 There will be shopping, crafts, live entertainment and giveaways ranging from Webkinz to mommy swag at Kidapalooza at the South Town Shopping Center party from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is one unwrapped toy for charity per family at 1503 S Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa. (813) 391-4800; divinetampa.com. Free

4 Get a picture of your pooch with "Mr. and Mrs. Santa Paws" for $5 at the Pinellas County Animal Services open house on Saturday. Photos will be taken from 10 a.m. to noon; proceeds benefit the Animal Welfare Trust Fund. The open house also includes exhibits, tours, refreshments and special rates on adoptions and rabies shots from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 12450 Ulmerton Road in Largo. $5

5 The Texas heavy metal band Within Chaos is putting on a $5 show at 8:30 tonight at the Bourbon Street nightclub, 4331 U.S. 19, New Port Richey. But you might be able to save that $5: The band announced last year that it will give a lifetime of free admission to fans who get the band's name tattooed on their bodies. $5 (for most of us)
