Weekday Picks for Westchester Kids: Harlem Renaissance, Tussy Mussies, I Married a Witch and More, Feb. 23-27
Winter Break may be over, but the fun doesn’t stop there! We’ve scoured the county for ways to keep the stimulation going for Westchester kids this week.
Standouts are two cultural opportunities: Harlem Remembered: A Tribute to the Harlem Renaissance, featuring plays, poems and music, and I Married a Witch. There also are a couple inspired craft programs, like Tussy Mussies with the Garden Club.
Of course, that’s not all. Visit our Events Calendar for many more great activities this week--and check back often, as new events are frequently added. And if you haven't already, be sure to sign up for our FREE newsletters! Read on for our top weekday picks!
