Music, rides, animals, fireworks, hot air balloons, culture and more are in store for you this summer in and near Westchester County. Some of these family-friendly events are a bit of a drive, but they are worth it! Children can enjoy cotton candy, face painting, the thrill of winning a classic carnival game, live shows, competitions, and many other experiences that we loved when we were a kid (and still do). Don't forget to check the weather as not all events are rain or shine. Enjoy!
