The Albertville Friendly City Days festival is almost here! My family loves when the carnival trucks roll into town because Friendly City Days is how we kick off summer. This year’s festival is taking place June 9–13, with five days of fun for all ages.
You can view the full event schedule here, but I’ve compiled a list below of the events that are especially suited to families with kids.
With summer vacation coming soon, those calendars are already starting to fill up! Make sure to leave room this year for your kids to attend a Vacation Bible School at one of our great local churches!
Here’s a list of VBS programs happening in our area in summer 2021, sorted by date. Some of them are free, but all require pre-registration. See links for full details.
Not every day of summer is going to be sunny… and some days are going to be just TOO sunny to spend outside! That’s what I love about the Kids Bowl Free program offered at several local bowling alleys—by signing up in advance, you’ll have a ready-made indoor backup plan that won’t break the bank.
Through Kids Bowl Free, kids ages 2–18 can enjoy 2 FREE games of bowling per day, all summer long! (shoe rental additional) Parents who want to bowl can pay per game or purchase a Family Pass to use throughout the summer. When you register, you’ll need to select a location.
My kids and I love exploring the various parks in and around STMA. It’s not uncommon for us to visit a couple dozen different parks over the course of “park season” a.k.a. April to October.
I put several of our favorites into a bingo card for you to enjoy checking off with your family over the course of the spring and summer. Let me know in the comments when you get a bingo and which parks are your favorites.
