Dust off your dancing shoes and show off some fancy footwork this weekend. You and the kids can try an Urbanity class at their annual open house, rock out at the JP music festival, or dance to Irish music at the ICC 5k & Family Fun Day. There is even a festival for dogs and the people who love them, and a birthday party for a gibbon. For more early fall fun, gaze at the stars at Robbins Farm Park, eat brats and wear lederhosen at Oktoberfest, and appreciate local artists at the Boston Arts Festival.
Also, the season for ripe, juicy apples is here, so be sure to bookmark our favorite apple picking spots around Boston if you haven't already. Don't forget to check out our September GoList and Fall Fun Guide for even more ideas for what to do with the family this weekend.
