As we approach the end of July, there are plenty of family-friendly events awaiting you right here in Santa Cruz County.
Wednesday morning, dive into the enchanting, shimmering world of Tom Noddy’s Bubble Magic at La Selva Beach Branch Library.
Later in the week, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk catches our eye with mesmerizing magicians and acrobats taking the stage at Boardwalk Evenings on the Colonnade and National Carousel Day on Thursday. Plus, Free Movies on the Beach is in its final three weeks. This week, the Boardwalk is screening “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” – the perfect start to a weekend of family fun.
