February Vacation Ideas

Here are some fun local things to do with the kids this week!

President’s Day Festival

The JFK Presidential Library is hosting a Presidents’ Day festival that’s way more than your average history lesson. Think presidential storytelling, hands-on crafts, live music, and fun activities inspired by America250 and even presidential pets (turns out the White House has had some pretty cute residents over the years). It’s an all-ages event, with free admission for kids 17 and under. The first 350 children through the door will receive a special keepsake, and adults can get a discounted ticket by keeping an eye on @jfklibraryfdn for the official code. A little history, a little fun, and a solid way to keep everyone entertained while school’s out.

Last Call for The Dot Tavern

In disappointing neighborhood news, The Dot Tavern announced on Friday that it will be closing its doors.  After three years of bringing dive bar vibes in the best possible way, the Dot Ave hot spot for college kids and locals alike last night will be Wednesday, February 18th.
