KAD, I see where your coming from yet I disagree. I find that something would feel more like an event if it is something that you don't do very often. If, for example, seeing a Broadway show is a once a month activity for a family then I can see how that would be considered an event. But, the feeling of an event would get lost on me if it is something that goes from being something special to being a regular weekend activity for me.
I don't dress like I just rolled out of bed when I go to the theatre. But, on the other hand, I don't go out of my way to look nice either.
