For many families in the Richmond area, the beginning of June means the end of the school year and the official start of summer. And that means keeping your kids from the all-too-familiar refrain of “I’m bored” by filling the days with summer activities! Here in Richmond, there are plenty of ways to make sure that boredom doesn’t set in. From festivals to living history events to special activities at your local library, you’ll have no trouble finding summer activities for every day of the week.
Granted, with all of the rain we’ve had lately, you might be looking for some indoor alternatives. Be sure to check out our list of Best Rainy Day Activities for Families in Richmond for ideas. In the meantime, don’t miss the wide array of summer activities we’ve found this week! Check out the highlighted events below, then be sure to check our full calendar for even more.
