Welcome, to the weekend. I thought I would share Top 5 family fun events this weekend around Fort Worth. I would like to let you know there is several events on the list I would like to bring my family to. We already have plans for the weekend and can’t fit anything else in.
Bubble Festival SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 10AM–4PM doesn’t this sound like a lot of fun? I know Charlie would enjoy a Bubble Festival. I believe Lily and Jason would to.

Then get ready to look at bubbles in a whole new way as you explore where to find bubbles around you.
Check out lots of fun hands-on activities, experiments and crafts throughout the museum:

Everyone’s favorite ogre is back in this hilarious stage spectacle, based on the Oscar-winning smash hit film and outrageous Broadway musical. Artisan Children’s Theater presents Shrek the Musical Jr., based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and the Book by William Steig. Runs 55 minutes.
It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek Jr. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.
Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions.
When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted.
Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.
$13 adults; $7 children.
