Every brief has this shape. Yours is rebuilt each week from the real listings around your home, for your kids' ages and interests.
Coverage: 40 metro areas — 2,000+ official calendars from library branches, museums, city recreation and county parks, verified one by one. The calendars families hear about by word of mouth, in one place.
How it works
We scan three times a week
Libraries, parks and city calendars near you, checked Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday so nothing good slips past.
Friday morning, it's there
One short email with the few events that fit — costs and signup deadlines included.
Why KidWeekend
Every week, the same challenge for parents: finding the right activities, in the right places.
Your privacy comes first.
We never share or sell your information. To make the brief work we keep your email, your city or ZIP code, and each child's age and nickname — plus basic usage records, like which events you view and save, so the service works well. No full names, no birthdays, no schools, no photos.
The important sources, checked for you.
2,000+ official calendars — library branches, city halls, museums and parks in 40 metro areas, across 29 states and DC. Every one verified by hand. No random event sites, no second-hand listings.
One email every Friday — and the website, anytime.
Friday morning, your time, your picks land in your inbox — that's the routine. Whenever you want more, the website is there: this weekend's full list, your settings, your saved events, right in your browser.
Events that fit your kids.
Matched to their ages and interests — not a firehose. Most picks are free; anything paid or sign-up-only is labeled up front, and deadlines are flagged before they pass.
Plugs into how you already plan.
Save the events you're eyeing, register on the organizer's official page, and add the plan to your calendar in one tap. KidWeekend fits the way your family already runs its weekends — no new system to learn.
Q&A
Is the Friday brief free?
Yes. KidWeekend is free — no paid plan, no subscription, nothing to buy from us. The events themselves are separate: most are free public programs, and any that charge or need tickets are labeled up front. You'd pay the venue, never us.
Where do the events come from?
From the official calendars of the places families trust: public libraries, city recreation and parks departments, museums and other established local institutions — 2,000+ calendars across 40 metro areas, each one checked by hand before it counts. No random event sites, and no second-hand listings copied from elsewhere.
I forgot my password — now what?
Open My Account and use “Forgot your password?” under the password form: we email a reset link that works once and expires in 30 minutes. Or skip passwords entirely — the email sign-in link at the top of the same panel does the same job.
What do you ask for at sign-up?
An email, your city, each child's nickname and age, and a few interests. No full names, no street address — a rough location is enough to find what's near you.
This Friday could be the good kind of planned.
