On Wednesday and Thursday mornings from July 13 to August 18, the Lowell Summer Music Series presents the Free Fun for Kids shows at Boarding House Park, 40 French St, in Lowell. 

Beginning at 10 AM, every show includes free arts & crafts by Lowell National Historical Park, free healthy snacks and free books from Project LEARN. The free stage performance begins at 11 AM, with free lunches served (ages 2 - 18) by Lowell Public Schools. 

All the details are available online at the Lowell Summer Music Series website.  


On Wednesday August 17th, enjoy a free show by Dinoman!


With magic, merry mayhem, and magnificent props, the audience is taken on a trip throughout the mesozoic era. How do we know dinosaurs were here? What is a fossil? How are they made? This program is fun and informative for all ages. Sponsored by Parker Lecture Series.


On Thursday August 18th, enjoy a free show by Bonaparte!

Screams of Delight! Howls of Laughter! Unbelievable Energy & Excitement! These are common symptoms of witnessing first-hand Bonaparté’s Award-Winning Magic Concert! Plus…as an added bonus, the show includes the dramatic appearance of a fluttering white Dove and an adorable fuzzy Bunny! Sponsored by Parker Lecture Series.
