Shabbat is the Jewish term for the Sabbath - the seventh day of the week during which work is avoided to recall G-d resting on the seventh day of Creation - and as such is not a special event upon which certain things happen, as suggested by the question. It is similar in many ways to the Christian Sunday, but falls between nightfall on Friday and nightfall on Saturday.
Many Jews will visit a synagogue for prayers and worship and observant Jews will avoid various activities designated melachot. There are 39 categories of melachot, which is best defined in English as "work" or "deliberate activity" such as lighting fires, driving, operating machinery and so on.
