Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo, May 20-22

According to the Bayou Boogaloo website, at least 25% of festival goers bring at least one child to this fun festival on Bayou St. John. This year's lineup includes many of your favorite local groups, along with tons of food vendors and an art market. See complete music lineup.

Greek Fest, May 27-29

For nearly 50 years, families have been flocking to Greek Fest for Greek music, dancing, food, canoeing on Bayou St. John, and fun in the Athenian Playground. This special kids area includes the 24-foot-high Mount Olympus Climbing Wall and the Hercules Hammer where you can test your strength. You can also bounce in the inflatables, get your face painted, and get “crafty.” Kids don’t like gyros? No problem. They have hot dogs for picky eaters. Learn more.
