September 4-10 (Peel)

Why is it that my kids woke up at 6AM all summer long… and now that school’s back, they’ve decided to sleep in? 😅 

This week is all about adjusting to routines again but I am NOT ready to dive headfirst into pumpkin spice season just yet. Summer isn’t over and there are still plenty of FREE, outdoor, family activities to enjoy.

My Top 5 Picks for the Week:

1. 🇪🇬 Egyptian Coptic Festival (kids' activities) – MISSISSAUGA

2. 🎵 Blues & Jazz Festival (2 FREE stages!) – MISSISSAUGA

3. ✈️ Airport Day with bouncy castle & face painting (kids FREE!) – CALEDON

4. 📚 Comics, Manga and Zines festival for creative families – MISSISSAUGA

5. 🚲 Tree Month Bike Tour ending with free barbecue – BRAMPTON
