📆Issue No. 70 - May 30- June 1, 2026

Happy Friday, friends!

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, the problem isn't going to be finding something. It's going to be picking just one. Festivals, free concerts, block parties, outdoor movies, live music, crafts and much more. This city is showing up for families this weekend (as it does most weekends). Saturday alone has more than enough to fill your whole day, and Sunday isn't slowing down either. Share with a friend who needs a plan.

Let’s get into it!

As always, if we missed your favorite happening around the city, reply here or find us at [email protected]. We’ll see you again in your inbox on Tuesday.

P.P.S. Want to partner with us? Have an event we should highlight? We work with brands that parents actually want in their lives (you know, the ones that don't make us choose between "kid-friendly" and "still cool"). Email us at [email protected] if that sounds like you.

Click the option that fits, and feel free to tell us why. We read every response because we're nosy like that.
