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.

Let’s Make Art!

There’s something for everyone this vacation week at the ICA: make your own art in the Bank of America Art Lab, explore the artwork on view, take the museum architecture challenge, and MORE!  FREE with museum admission / Kids under 17 always visit free!  For more information, visit here!
