By Darla Winstead - Publisher of Macaroni Kid Annapolis May 5, 2023

Hi Friends,

There are many family-friendly events happening each weekend. Too many to choose from at times. We try to include every Annapolis area G and PG rated event in our calendar but sometimes we miss some. If you know of events that aren't in our calendar, please email me or better yet, submit the information using this link or the link on our website. 

Visit the Macaroni KID Annapolis Events Calendar to see events for all ages and interests. In our weekly e-news, I highlight 5 events that I think you will enjoy. No compensation is given for listing events. If you are a subscriber, you already know this. If not a subscriber, why not? Subscribe now to receive our weekly e-news filled with local event information, activity ideas, recipes, parenting tips, info about local businesses, and so much more.


Summer Vacation Location

This week I'm on a work trip checking out the Tradewinds Island Resorts in St. Petersburg, FL. I've been sharing pictures and videos on Facebook and Instagram. Soon I'll share more details about my experience in an article and let you know what the resorts have for your family. This is a beautiful summer vacation location and only a few hours away with a direct flight to Tampa.
