Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: Family Concerts & Nature Festival, May 30-31

5/27/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

Music fans certainly have their pick of concerts this weekend! A music festival at the Newton Free Library sounds pretty amazing, and there's also a family concert with the Chameleon Arts Ensemble that includes an instrument petting zoo.

Another great live entertainment option is at one of my family's favorite museums, the ICA Boston (pictured). This particular Play Date appears on our May GoList because of its combination of art-related activities along with a family-friendly performance. Other fun this weekend includes an Audubon Nature Festival with live owl presentations and an opportunity for stargazing.
