Grab & Go Kids Planner: Free and Local

We've got princesses and cultural dances–all right in your neck of the woods.

Hi there, parents. Many thanks for checking out the newest Grab & Go Kids Planner, which we at Santa Monica Patch have filled to the very top (careful when walking) with family activities.

Did you hear of an amazing event in the works? One going on currently? We want to participate too, so pretty please, fill us in on the who, what, when and where in the comment box below.

Oh, for shame: Did we miss out a memory-making event? Suggest one that created groans and plenty of eye-rolling? Let us know of our mistake as well. We at Patch always want to hear from you!
