Have you perfected your Irish accent yet? Prepped the green food coloring for your libations? Well you still have the weekend to get in the festive spirit for St. Patty’s Day, why not take your kids out for some family fun to get celebration-ready?
Here are my top 5 picks for Family Fun in Santa Clarita this weekend:
St. Francis Dam Tour
Who wants to go on a dam tour? YOU DO! The St Francis Dam Tour that is (language people, language!).
Saturday, March 14th at 11:00am, Frank Rock, known as “The Dam Man,” is leading the lecture and hike of the ruins of the St. Francis Dam. The lecture is first and free at Heritage Junction Historic Park, then the tour begins at noon and costs $35. To reserve tickets, call (661) 254-1275.
Kids ages 6 and up are welcome, so take those dam…loving kids to this dam event!
Grand Opening of Stevenson Ranch and Castaic Libraries
Two new local libraries are opening this weekend and both are celebrating with the community.
The Stevenson Ranch library is replacing the former Express library and holding their opening ceremony at 11 a.m. on March 14. The Castaic Library is holding their grand opening on March 14th at 10 am. So you can visit them both!
Don’t worry, if you aren’t feeling THAT ambitious on a Saturday morning, they will be open regular hours as well. That will be fun too. Just not as festive.
