This annual initiative offers free family-friendly activities every day throughout the month of August, giving families the chance to explore and enjoy a wide range of cultural and recreational experiences across Massachusetts.

"August Adventures 2024 provides access and opportunities to new and old partners highlighting the geographical and cultural diversity of the Massachusetts arts and culture community," explains Highland Street Foundation. This initiative aims to make arts and culture accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances.

The month features a variety of activities, including museum visits, outdoor adventures, historical site tours, and more. Families can expect to engage in enriching experiences that foster learning, creativity, and togetherness.
