I just updated the Weekend Events page for this upcoming weekend. Hope you have a fun time with your family whether you head to the Greek Festival, take in the Dinosaur Exhibit at the Bishop Museum, go on a reef walk or do something else. Enjoy!
As always, if there's a family friendly event that I failed to include, please share it with others as a comment to this post.
