Weekday Picks for Boston Kids: Christmas Festival & Free Fun, November 2-6

11/1/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

How many parents out there are waiting for the right moment to try some of these great tricks for making Halloween candy disappear? My hand is definitely raised! Now that Halloween is a thing of the past, I'm already looking forward to some fun events in November, the unofficial start of the holiday season. This means perusing the calendar for events like this week's family-friendly concert or a Christmas festival (yes, you read that right) that includes a gingerbread competition (pictured). Keep your eye on the full Event Calendar for more upcoming happenings.
