Free and Fun Things to Do with Boston Kids: BIg Woods Hike, SteveSongs, and More, Nov 17-18
Submitted by Audrey Trieschman on
Our roundup of weekend events for kids and families in and around Boston features lots of outdoor activities, from a Dog Sled Fun Run in Milton to the Big Woods Hike in Ipswich. Other activities include a concert with SteveSongs, the second weekend of the Family Film Festival, and the opening of the new Boston Blinks! at Faneuil Hall. Read on for details, and remember that our Events Calendar is filled with many more ideas.
With Thanksgiving preparations just around the corner, we thought it would be fun to take a look back to 1621 and the first Thanksgiving; check out some recipes from that first celebration. The holiday season is poised to launch into full gear, and we begin our coverage with a roundup of dazzling tree lighting events, some of which take place this Saturday! Plus, for families hoping to focus a little less on getting and a little more on giving this holiday season, we’ve found some truly wonderful family volunteering and charitable giving opportunities.
Enjoy!
