If you’re looking for something a little different to do with the kids this weekend, this one looks like so much fun.
The Cooper Museum is hosting a Free Family Glow Party on Saturday night, transforming a local history spot into a neon-lit dance party. There will be glowing decorations, music, and a courtyard full of families just having a good time together. It’s not every day you get to experience a museum after dark, and this one adds a playful twist that makes it feel more like a mini night-out than a typical outing.
Kids can come dressed in their brightest neon or glow gear (honestly, half the fun is picking out what to wear), and glow kits will be available if you want to add a little extra sparkle once you arrive. The music will be family-friendly, so expect a mix that gets both kids and parents moving.
What I really like about this event is that it’s simple. No complicated schedule, no rushing from activity to activity. You show up, let the kids dance, soak in the glow, and enjoy a relaxed evening together. It feels like one of those easy wins for a family night.
