Things to Do this Weekend and Beyond | |
May Festivals and Fairs in New Jersey. Spring filled sunny days start in May and they are ideal for family friendly outdoor festivals. Here are some upcoming ones. | |
This interactive concert makes a great family outing. Announcing Beethoven's Third Symphony May 18. LIVE music, plus family friendly activities before the concert (doors open 1pm). Families can bring their favorite stuffed animals/plushies, listen to the music, visit an “Instrument Petting Zoo” to play with instruments, and have fun with stress balls/fidget toys. This “relaxed performance” is approachable for everyone including neurodivergent communities. Families can come and go as they please and spend time in a quiet room or an activity room if they need to leave the auditorium. Great way to introduce kids to the orchestra. | Explore these Sensory Friendly Day Trips...museums, shows, art, sports and more! | |
