Fall is here, and so are the family-friendly events! Below is a list of events, each linking to a website or Facebook event page. Please reach out directly to the event organizers with any event-related questions. I'm simply gathering the details and putting together this guide to make planning easier for you.
Check back often, as new events will be added as they become available.
If you have an event that could use a little extra spotlight, whether it's your first one or you're hoping for a bigger turnout, the newsletter is a great place to share that information. If you'd like to learn more about that process, please email me at audreannab@macaronikid.com.
