Weekend Fun for Westchester Kids: Westchester Teen Idol, STEAM, Black Violin, Nov. 14-15
A motley mix of fun and fascinating family events are in store for Westchester and Hudson Valley families this weekend. In addition to the live shows we highlighted in our fall family performances, there are two STEAM-themed programs: STEAM Fest and Poughkeepsie Mini Maker Faire. Learn the art of millinery—or, hat making—at Alice in Wonderland Hats; find out if the next celebrity hotshot will be discovered locally at Westchester Teen Idol; and let the force be with you at Lego Star Wars Days.
That’s not all! Read on for the rest of our top picks; then consult our Event Calendar where you’ll find more great events like a Diwali performance, a terrarium workshop and other diverse options to choose from. Planning ahead? Consult our November GoList.
