Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: ArtWeek and Kids Really Rock, September 26-27
The lineup of cool activities going on as part of ArtWeek Boston is enough to keep our calendars full this weekend. With all kinds of exhibits and performances, including some specially designed for kids, families can make a day of it in and around town. Whether your little ones like to rock to great music, listen to a storyteller, or explore performing arts, you can find it this weekend.
If you're looking to get the family outdoors, Sunday's full moon or an afternoon at a harvest hoedown might offer the perfect respite from the back-in-school craziness.
Also on Mommy Poppins Boston this week:
- One of these local theater classes might be the perfect thing for any budding thespians in the house.
- Fall is here, and the season brings with it plenty of fun things to do!
- It's time for one of our favorite fall traditions: Pick your family's perfect pumpkin at one of these pumpkin patches.
Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to check out the full Event Calendar!
