AT WEEKENDS
here is an example I have found in an article:
"Is the Commission still working on the harmonisation of time-slots for the circulation of heavy goods vehicles at weekends and on public holidays? "

The first one should have a “the” added in the middle, “ at the weekend”.
the second one should be used when talking about just weekends, “ at weekends we do volunteer work”. On weekend is incorrect so you need to add a “the” in the middle again, “on the weekend”. This would be used for past stories , for example “Then, on the weekend I went shopping.”
The last one is used for plural reference of present events, for example “ On weekends we go for a family reunion”.
