Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: Arts Festivals & Outdoor Theater, June 6-7
Now that it's almost officially summer, many of the best offerings on our calendar take place outdoors. Welcome, warm weather! This weekend's picks include several great festivals that celebrate fine and performing arts, including the Salem Arts Festival (pictured). This is also a good time to attend a summer camp open house. Even if you've already decided on a program for the kids, an open house offers a great opportunity to visit the actual site and meet the staff. Other weekend picks include a fishing festival, a painting workshop, and some family-friendly outdoor theater.
