We have lots of events and activities on our event calendar in Billerica, Chelmsford, Dracut, Tyngsboro, Dunstable, Lowell, Tewksbury, Westford, Littleton, Groton and beyond.
NOTE: This page is updated every Wednesday afternoon. We have selected events and venues based on the event description but, in most cases, have not attended, so please use your own judgment when choosing events to attend or view. Age descriptions are provided by the event venue. If an event is sold out when we're putting together this list, we don't list it here, to prevent disappointment. Be sure to check our event calendar regularly in advance to catch fun events before they sell out!
NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
Hi Friends! Hope you have enjoyed all the snow! We've had a blast building snowmen, sledding and playing in the snow. It has felt like we are living in a real life snow globe the past few days. If that wasn't enough we even added some indoor snow fun with this fake snow sensory play - Fake Snow with Just 2 Ingredients!
We are continuing to prepare for our 2023 Summer Camp Fairs. We are really looking forward to all three fairs and are excited for you to meet folks from all the wonderful local Summer Camps joining us. Mark your calendars - our first fair will be Sunday, February 5th from 12 - 3pm at the Westford Regency!
