Family Friendly Events in Green Bay for Summer 2020.
There are still family-friendly events to do in Green Bay this summer. Summer 2020 looks a lot different than past summers, that’s for sure. In the past there have been over 500 special events each summer in the Green Bay area. This summer there are much fewer events, but the good news is that there ARE still some events going on that you can enjoy as a family! I was happy to find that there are about 70 such events, which will help summer feel a bit more “normal”. Of course, for many of these events there will be new guidelines in place including social distancing and etc, so you will want to look into those details before you go and/or do what you are most comfortable with for yourself and your family.
All of these events and other places that are now re-open can be found on the let’s go mommy calendar, but for those of you who like to have things consolidated into one place and love lists, below is a recap of family-friendly events in the Green Bay area for summer 2020. Many of these activities are free or cheap (not including purchase of food). Those that are free are noted as such. For more information on these events, you can look them up by date in the let’s go mommy calendar and/or click the links below. Also, due to the unknowns surrounding the pandemic and continuously changing circumstances, it is possible that some of the below events could be canceled or changed, therefore it is highly recommended that you check or call before you go for any or all of these events.
