Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: Sand Sculpting and Music Festivals, July 25-26

7/22/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

If it's time to hit the beach with your family, Revere Beach has the perfect excuse this weekend with its annual Sand Sculpting Festival (pictured). As on other summer weekends, there are tons of great events farther inland as well. Music fans looking for more than a summer concert have their pick of music festivals highlighting everything from folk to jazz, and kids with big imaginations will love collaborating on art projects during Figment Boston.

Also on Mommy Poppins Boston this week:

Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to check out the full Event Calendar!
