Summer is full of fun, but it doesn’t have to be expensive! One reason that I loved following Macaroni Kid when I first became a mom was that I was searching for free and inexpensive events. To end the summer, here’s our list of some of the free events in the area for August. Please be sure to click on the event and read all the information. Have fun!
