The Albertville Friendly City Days festival is here! My family loves when the carnival trucks roll into town because Friendly City Days is a big part of how we kick off summer. This year’s festival is taking place June 11–15, 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.
One of my kids’ and my favorite summer traditions is spending afternoons at St. Michael Cinema. Not only is it a great way to beat the heat, but we love catching up on fun, kids-friendly movies at a fraction of the usual price!
St. Michael Cinema recently released its $1 movie schedule for this summer (below), and I’ve already got a few penciled in on our calendar! For complete showtimes, visit stmichaelcinema.com.
The weather is heating up, which means splash pad season is just around the corner! Here’s a list of the STMA area’s splash pads and when you can expect them to open this year.

Not every day of summer is going to be sunny… and some days might even be TOO hot 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.
Our friends over at FYCC always have a full calendar of family-friendly activities, but summer is where they really shine! Check out the highlights below, then head over to myfycc.com for all the details and to register for your favorites.
