Your kids might be going stir crazy after a winter inside. Give them some music and holiday fun in the Delaware Valley, and they’ll be sure to move their muscles and have a good time. Here are three ways to spend time together in the greater Philadelphia area this weekend.
Holi Celebration at the Please Touch Museum
March 15, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Please Touch Museum | 4231 Avenue of the Republic, Philadelphia, PA 19131
The Hindu festival of colors, love and spring comes to one of Philadelphia’s favorite children’s museums for a day of music, dancing, games and tons and tons of powdered dye. Holi is known for the bright and all-encompassing powder that is thrown during the holiday (aka, the perfect celebration for a messy kid).
Free with museum admission ($22) | pleasetouchmuseum.org

March 15, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
