After the big family barbecues and firework shows that mark our 4th of July celebrations, you might be tempted to just put your feet up and relax a bit this coming weekend. And while there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, if you’re looking for more family fun (or a way to entertain the restless kiddos) Jersey still has some great events going on. Check out the always popular Blueberry Bash at Terhune Orchards, bring your little ones to explore the Clifford the Big Red Dog exhibit at Liberty Science Center or take a laid back summer hike at Tenafly Nature Center.
Also, you can check out the full list of weekend activities on our Event Calendar, and don't forget, we've declared this summer to be the Summer of Play! So what are you waiting for? Get out there, make playhouses out of cardboard, count birds and flowers on your street, paint masterpieces with sidewalk chalk, and turn your lawn into a gameboard. Looking for some inspiration? We can get you started with a list of 100 Ways to Play.
Now, play is its own reward, but there’s no reason we can’t sweeten the pot. Share your summer fun ideas, photos, and tips on social media and we just might return the favor with some fun-makin' gear. Let the hashtags begin!
