Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Beach Concert, Zumba, and an Outdoor Movie June 8-12
This is my kids' last full week of school, and our days are chock-full of picnics and field days and end-of-year celebrations. So if we're going to do something extra this week, it better be great! Luckily (or is it unluckily?), there are lots of fabulous things going on this time of year, whether it's family Zumba classes or beach-side concerts or pizza-tossing lessons.
We only highlight one event per day in this post, but there are many other options in our Event Calendar. For additional activity ideas, check out our Summer Fun Guide.

Monday, June 8
Zumba at Norwalk Library – Norwalk
Start the week off with a little family-friendly exercise! An especially nice feature is that there are two sessions--Zumba for Kids and Parents (for kids up to age 12), followed by Zumba for Teens and Adults--so everyone gets a chance to move around at his/her own pace. Free.
Tuesday, June 9
Family Night at 2Wives Pizza – New London
Pizza time is happy time for my family (and most families I know), but 2Wives makes it even better on family night with pizza throwing lessons and the chance for kids to make their own pizzas.
See all Tuesday events.
Wednesday, June 10
The Darien High School Jazz Band at Weed Beach – Darien
This is a great excuse to visit a lovely beach (with a fantastic playground) and enjoy some fun family music. There's a snackbar open on site or you can bring your own picnic.
See all Wednesday events.
Thursday, June 11
Chill Out and Knit – Bloomfield
Knitters of all ages and abilities are welcome to head over to the community room at Prosser Library for a little community-driven inspiration. Free.
See all Thursday events.
Friday, June 12

Are you kids still not quite ready to "Let It Go?" This free, outdoor screening of Frozen at Harbor Point may be just the thing to wind down your busy week. Free.
See all Friday events.
Have a great first week of June!
