Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: Outside the Box, Play Day & Creepy Crawlies, July 18-19
Submitted by Kip Wilson Rechea on
With no shortage of arts festivals around Boston this summer, it's hard to choose one to highlight. However, if there's one that families truly must not miss, it's the Outside the Box festival happening this weekend on and near Boston Common. Highlights include family-friendly performances, interactive crafts, and fun educational activities. Best of all, it's free! But even this very same weekend, there are plenty of other great outdoor family parties going on, from the lawn to out in the open.
Summer also means an over-abundance of insects, but this weekend, they're not the kind you want to swat away. Kids get their choice to learn about everything from moths to the world of bugs to creepy crawlies.
