5/28/15 - By Ravelle Worthington

There are lots of great outdoor events on tap this week as we move into the summer season! With popular annual street fairs and the start of many free outdoor concert series, there's plenty of warm weather fun to be had all over the tri-state area.

Head to nearby New Jersey for Oasis Family Farm's Strawberry Festival, complete with wagon rides, pie-eating contests and, of course, strawberries! Or travel back in time at the Robin Hood Renaissance Festival in New Haven, where kids can try archery, participate in daily tournaments and enjoy other period activities. Spending the weekend in the Hamptons? Here's a roundup of all the family-friendly fun on tap.

Our Travel site has details on what may be the world's most kid-friendly lodging: Florida's new LEGOLAND Hotel.
