Sharing is caring!

Kid  & Family-Friendly Things To Do & Events  This  Weekend on the South Shore Boston September 26th & 27th

A Nor’easter is headed our way this weekend, and unfortunately, some outdoor fall festivals and events have been canceled or postponed. BUT… that doesn’t mean you have to stay home all weekend! 🍂

We’ve rounded up indoor things to do on the South Shore — from family-friendly activities and indoor play to eating, drinking, entertainment and more.

🎃 Fall fun may look a little different this weekend, but there are still plenty of ways to get out and enjoy the South Shore!
