FEATURED EVENTS

Held annually during the summer in the Village of Kenmore, it offers free concerts for families. This year, the series takes place every Tuesday at 6:15pm from July 8th -29th. Held on the Kenmore Junior Senior High School lawn, the concerts attract a large crowd, with hundreds of attendees at each concert and thousands throughout the series. Families from the Ken-Ton area and beyond, including Lockport, Hamburg, and even Southern Ontario, come to enjoy the free shows. Almost Seamus: This eclectic celtic music will have us up and dancing while the lead violin will have us giggling and twirling too! Our goal with the concert series is to provide enjoyable and educational entertainment for families. We aim to engage children and adults through music, creating a passive learning experience. Each year, we curate a diverse lineup that showcases various musical styles and eras from around the world. This allows parents to introduce their children to a wide range of musical sounds while offering a fun, safe, and entertaining environment for everyone to enjoy.

Each summer since 2005, KidsOutAndAbout has run a survey of the Top 20 Places to Take Kids as a way our community can thank those who provide family-friendly fun and learning... and also help create your summer bucket list! Please take 2 minutes to help us by selecting your three favorites. If you'd like, you can also write in favorites in the following categories: Arts Education, Sports Education, STEM Education, Museums, Outdoor Fun, Indoor Fun, Farms, Nature Centers, Festivals, and a few other categories. An effective (and quick, and painless!) way to express your appreciation in a way that really matters to the people who make our community a vibrant place to raise families. Voting is live through July 31.
