Weekend Roundup May 7-10

Ahhhh… Mother’s Day Weekend. It’s a big deal to us here at RCM.

It’s also a good time to send dads and grandparents everywhere a list of things they can do with kids while you’re sleeping in, enjoying a spa day, or a day with friends. That’s where we come in – just send them the link to the Weekend Roundup!

Hey Dads – there are even more options in our Event Calendar, and we’ve made it SUPER easy for you to put your DIY gift skills to good use before Sunday.

Or you might just want to spend some quality time with your whole family together. If so, here are some places in Huntsville where Mom gets in free with a paid guest this Sunday:

  • U.S. Space & Rocket Center
  • Burritt On the Mountain
  • Sci-Quest Hands On Science Center

We also highly recommend a Mother’s Day Weekend train ride as an activity the whole family can enjoy and the North Alabama Railroad Museum offers two this Saturday. Get your tickets before they sell out!

Whatever your plans are, we hope you are able to celebrate Mother’s Day in some way with your loved ones. Moms rock.

This year’s festival theme is “Good Day Gets the Blues” – so put on your blue jeans and blue suede shoes and get ready for some serious fun. Microwave Dave will perform, and so will the kids from the Alabama Blues Project. There will be puppet shows, scavenger hunts, wonderful community vendors with hands-on activities & demos, your favorite costume characters, and bouncy inflatables. It’s always a Good Day – come join us!
