Weekday Picks for Boston Kids: LEGO, Free Concerts and More, March 9-13

3/8/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

Boston is gearing up for spring this week with the colorful displays at the Boston Flower and Garden Show, along with the first events to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. While the only way we'll see green on our lawns is if we color the snow, our March GoList can distract with some not-to-be-missed events, including Free Film Fridays happening at the Museum of Science every Friday in March.

Other highlights this week include the Little Naturalists: Raccoons nature program for preschoolers, the Where I Live/Là où j’habite show, put on by Montréal's "Words of Dynamite" theater company, and two free concerts. Read on for our picks of the week, and don't forget to check out the full events calendar!
