There are more than 160 fun, family-friendly events and activities right here on the South Shore over vacation week and we've got them all on our calendar! But, sometimes that's a little overwhelming, or your entertainment budget is low this month, or your just frugal (raises hand) and you want to know what the best options are for FREE family fun on the South Shore during the break. To help we have pulled out all of the FREE family-fun for you!
There are also LOTS of low-cost events happening over vacation week for under $5 a participant. You can find those on our calendar here - https://ssboston.macaronikid.com/events. Don't forget it is sortable by town, age range, indoor/outdoor and many more categories to help you find exactly the right events and activities for your family because I'm only an expert in what my family enjoys so I try to round up everything that is going on so you can use our sort functions to find what's right for yours.
MANY of these events require pre-registration and may fill up.
Errors on our calendar do occur. Please always check with venues before heading out.
