Weekend Picks: Magic Shows, Gustafer Yellowgold & Corcoran

January 24, 2014

We’ve found some awesome events sure to make you and your child happy for the weekend. But, we’re not sure how you will choose where you will go as there are so many fun things to do. Would love to hear where you’re going or if you’ve been to any of the listed venues, please post a comment and let others know!

Saturday~
10:00am- (Chevy Chase, DC) Join The Great Zucchini and his wacky facial expressions at The Avalon Theatre. He will be joined by Barry the Magician for his Barry’s final show (he is retiring) as they entertain everyone with their magic show. You can purchase tickets here– tickets will sell out so act quick. I can attest that The Great Zucchini captures children’s attention almost instantly, your kid will love it. Go a few more miles into DC and stop at the zoo to see Bao Bao, the panda bear after the show.

10:00am-11:00am- (Adams Morgan) Family Fiesta at El Tamarindo hosts all of your children’s favorite musicians in one spot! John Henry the Guitar Man, Marsha Goodman-Wood, The Singing Lizard, The Uncle Devin Show AND !Uno, Dos, Tres Con Andres! The regular menu will be available as will healthy kid-friendly options and hey, it’s 5:00 somewhere, enjoy a margarita while the kids rock out to the music. $5.00 at the door.
