School ends for the summer in late May to early June in the Lynchburg area and summer days are rolling our way! Mark your calendars for these exciting family-friendly and kid-friendly events in the Lynchburg area during the month of June: Click on each link for more details about the event.
***June Calendar Changes***
Starting in June, National Macaroni KID is migrating our site and other MK sites to a new calendar format. You'll see this reflected in the calendar on our Lynchburg Macaroni KID site starting June 1, as well as other Macaroni KID sites across the United States and Canada.
The new calendar includes large images for each event. To the extent possible, we will include links to each event; however, that will not work with most of our recurring events. For those events, we will link the first event in the series; however, each event will appear as a separate event on the calendar.
It will be a learning curve for all of us, so please be patient with us!
These are only a few of the events taking place during the month of June (and some all summer long). These events were chosen because they are free, offer reduced prices, or are unique events we feel many families will enjoy. You can find all of the local family-friendly events in Lynchburg and the surrounding counties on the Lynchburg Macaroni Kid calendar.
