The weather is going to be primo on Saturday, we promise. So The Weekender is going to be making the most of it:

• Feel the itch and check out the flea markets popping up all over the borough — and take our handy guide with you.

• Feeling unsatisfied? This woman’s got nothing on you: She wrote a book about never having an orgasm. Buy it today.

• Get a drink at legendary bar owner Tracy Westmoreland’s new Brooklyn outpost, ironically named “The Manhattans.” Don’t let the newspaper on the front window fool you — that’s the decor!

• Take a stroll through Prospect Park, which is about to get a lot friendlier to cyclists and pedestrians.

• This weekend is your last chance to see the Heights Players’ production of “Shakespeare in Hollywood,” which the Butcher of Flatbush Avenue Extension loved. Or you could see “Bus Stop” at the Gallery Players, which the Butcher did not.

• The trombone festival continues at IBeam on Saturday night. Yes, a trombone festival!

Visit Jay-Z’s Rocawear truck stop in Prospect Heights.

The Central Brooklyn Jazz Festival is winding down, but it ain’t over yet.

• On Sunday, “To Kill a Mockingbird” opens at the Brooklyn Center for Performing Arts. 3 pm. BCPA [2900 Campus Rd. at Hillel Place in Flatbush, (718) 951-4500]. $20-$30.

• Puppetworks finally has a new show, “Aladdin.” It’s on Saturday and Sunday.

As always, these and other great events are in our exclusive family calendar, our great nightlife calendar, and our matchless events calendar.

Visit the Rocawear truck shop.
