Weekend Fun For Boston Kids: August 2-3 - Movies, Music, and Summer Festivals
Submitted by Celeste Bocchic... on
It is hard to believe we are ushering in August already. Don't worry--we haven't seen the last of summer festivals yet! This weekend take your pick of the Yankee Homecoming Family Day, Salem Maritime Festival, the Water Street Wing Fling, or Pet Palooza. Summer movies series keep going through August too. This weekend check out Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Despicable Me 2, Big, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, or a documentary about breastfeeding called Breastmilk: The Movie. For live entertainment don't miss Alastair Moock in concert for free on Georges Island, the Okee Dokee Brothers at the Regattabar, and the Puppet Showplace Theatre's production of The Jungle Book: The Story of Mowgli's Fire.
And since summer isn't over yet, there is still time to enter our Summer of Play challenge! Just share photos of your family at play with us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook with the tags #summerofplay or #playmatters. One photo will be drawn every Friday until August 15 to win great prizes from Kaboom. Need ideas? Check out 6 ways to play together as a family while doing chores, or explore our Summer Fun List Generator.

- Ally reels in the creativity with Fish Printing and Bubble Painting, part of our Wee Work series.
Enjoy your weekend and be sure to check the calendar for all the great things going on!
