After Bed, Bath & Beyond and Home Depot, if there’s time, here are some fun things to do this weekend.

Salsa contest at RE:Public (314 N. College St.): Win the $200 grand prize and tickets to see Latin Grammy-nominated salsa singer Victor Manuelle (Feb. 2 at RE:Public) if your hips don’t lie. DJ Havana spins. $10, but ladies get in for $5 before midnight. 980-202-1780.
My Old School Fridays at Privilege Charlotte (223 S. Brevard St.): Hosted by Fly Ty, with DJ Hukher kicking it old school. Free before 11 a.m. 704-606-8026.

All American Pub at 5 (200 East Bland St.): Because happy hour applies to Saturdays, too, right? Bryan Paschal of Paschal Promotions was just named Hospitality Professional of the Year in Charlotte, and events such as this one are why. No cover. 704-370-2000.
