Weekday Picks for Boston Kids: Sing-Alongs & Outdoor Shows, June 8-12

6/7/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

This is a great week for young music fans, especially those who like to participate! In fact, participation is the theme for most of our picks this week. Kids can exercise their vocal chords, try out instruments, or don hats and masks as part of a show.

The first of several outdoor movie series also starts this week. With many more free flicks to come at different venues this summer, I'm already starting to pencil in my top choices. Read on for our picks of the week, and don't forget to check out our full Event Calendar!
