Memorial Day Weekend 2022: Best Things to Do in Boston with Kids | MommyPoppins

Memorial Day weekend has finally arrived! Fire up the grill for a family BBQ, take some time to remember fallen heroes, and be sure to enjoy a long weekend of extra fun in and around Boston! Get some quality time exploring outdoors with the kids with the help of some very special goats. Kick off the unofficial start of summer at Canobie Lake Park’s opening day, or find your summer vibe at a free outdoor Afropop concert. See the Boston Pops—in one of their first in-person performances since 2019—work their magic with a family film favorite. Discover one of Boston’s world-class art museums for free. Need something to do with the littlest members of the family? Don’t forget about GroovyBabyMusic’s fun and engaging musical programming, available outdoors, indoors, and online. And we know no one wants to hear this, but the weather reports are saying we may see some rain this holiday weekend, so here are some fun indoor activities to keep in your back pocket, just in case.

As always, keep tabs on our Boston events calendar for daily updates on the best local and virtual happenings. And don’t forget to book those summer camps—spots are filling up fast for the 2022 season. 

While we are trying to promote safer activities that occur outdoors or with social distancing guidelines in place, please keep your family and others safe by always wearing a mask and maintaining an appropriate distance. If you arrive at an event that appears too crowded, try using the “nearby” search feature on our events calendar to find something else to do.
