Summer 2021: 39 Things to Do!

June 24, 2021

Here are 39 Things To Do for the Summer of 2021 in the Green Bay area!

I’ve spent many hours the last few weeks updating all of the “summer hours” at various businesses/destinations and adding over 200 special events going on in Green Bay for summer 2021!! And while that may not be as many as years’ past, it’s still A LOT and we’re definitely on the right track of heading back to normal! 🙂

I have also updated the hours for all of the outdoor swimming pools, wading pools and splash pads. Everything can be found in 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 the many things going on in the Green Bay area this summer that you should try to check out with your kids and family. 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. I have also included links to various events.

NOTE: As always, due to weather and other circumstances, it’s possible that some of these events may be cancelled or postponed, so it’s always best to check the business website or call before you go.

So, in no particular order, (except somewhat chronological), here are 39 Things To Do in Green Bay for Summer 2021:
