This Sunday is Mother’s Day. This is the day to celebrate the woman who made you, and can break you. So you had better come up with something fun for your weekend!

Here are my top 5 tips for Family fun in Santa Clarita this weekend:

Hit the Trail Community Bike Ride

Taking a bike ride with your kids is about the most fun you can have while secretly getting exercise!

Take advantage of our beautiful city’s trail system this weekend with the Hit the Trail Community Bike Ride.

Saturday, May 9th from 10:00am to 12 noon bring the whole family to the Valencia Heritage Park to hit the trails with a guided non-competitive bicycle ride.

It’s free and open to all, plus adds to the fun with a family fair featuring the Amgen Tour of California Street Team, giveaways, tricycle races, and scrumptious food.

And you can feel good about eating that food, because of all that secret exercise!

Mother’s Day Celebration at the Valencia Marketplace

Here’s a fun, Mother’s Day event that you will really love; the Mother’s Day Celebration at the Valencia Marketplace!

The Kids Club is celebrating Mother’s Day on Saturday, May 9 from 12:00-3:00 PM at the amphitheater.

KHTS will be broadcasting live from the festivities that include a musical presentation, balloon magic by Magic Castle Magician Dennis Forel, the KHTS Antique Fire Truck, and more.

Plus, the Montessori School of Stevenson Ranch will help kids under 12 make a free Mother’s Day Craft, which is helpful if your beloved little ones haven’t gotten you anything yet. So it’s a win-win!
