Holiday

The Interact Club at Gloucester High School will be holding our 6th annual pizza taste off at Cruiseport Gloucester this year!  Come try different pizza from around Cape Ann, while helping to raise funds for the American Cancer Society through the Cape Ann Relay for Life! Only 300 tickets will be sold, and are available at the door.

Any season is a great time to notice nature's beauty and to make it come to life with amazing works of art! In the Spring series, we'll use collage and various materials to make wonderful 3-D landscapes of places we like to play in and faraway worlds we've always wondered about.

On Saturday, March 23, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Cape Ann Waldorf School in Beverly MA will host an Easter egg decorating and dyeing event. Kids will create pretty eggs with a variety of coloring ideas and embellishments with all sorts of crafts supplies. Kids can create Easter eggs as fun, interesting, and unique as they are!

Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat will be visiting the Children's Museum of New Hampshire to greet young fans and help promote the love of reading via the Books Alive program.  At this Books Alive event, museum staff will be reading Curious George stories by Margret and Hans “H.A.” Rey throughout the day. The friendly costumed monkey character, accompanied by the Man with the Yellow Hat, will be popping in and out to greet children, exchange a hug or high-five, and pose for photos.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), will celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a free open house on Monday, January 21, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

The day of family-friendly presentations will include an original spoken word and musical performance commemorating the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, a tribute to Dr. King by Berklee College of Music Professor Lawrence Watson, and art-making activities related to the themes of equality, peace, community, and reflections.  

In addition, the Museum will air the live broadcast of the 57th Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama.

Rockport New Year's Eve will have plenty of fun and entertainment for families starting at 6 pm and running all the way through to the count down and ball drop in Dock Square at midnight! There will be magicians, puppet shows, and even a drum parade with a green dancing dragon.  This all happens with a backdrop live performances of dance & music ranging from classical music, jazz, reggae and rock & roll! So buy your buttons, come to Rockport, and get ready for a fun evening to ring in the New Year as a family!

There is no better way to ring in the New Year with family and friends of all ages than at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire’s annual New Year’s Eve Celebration. The museum is open to the public on December 31st from 10 am – 3 pm as we create festive party hats, tie our wishes for the new year to balloons and host “countdowns to midnight” at 11 am, 12:30 pm and 2 pm.

Rock in the New Year with Rockport's annual New Year's Rockport Eve 2012! The Shalin Liu Performance Center comes alive with concerts from local favorites The Cape Ann Big Band, a cappella sensation Overboard, and Henri Smith New Orleans Friends & Flavours.

You've heard of Christmas in July, but around here we prefer Halloween in December! Join us for this delightfully spooky Saturday program: What would you get if you mixed a dash of X-Files with a hint of Ghosthunters, added a pinch of Ripley's Believe it or Not, and topped your concoction with some Unsolved Mysteries? This awesomely creepy event!

Travel back in time to the 80s with "Back to the Future" starring Michael J. Fox! This movie is rated PG and will be fun for the whole family. Come yourself, or bring the kids to introduce them to this 80s classic. Snacks will be provided! All ages are welcome, and there is NO registration.
