Fridays, July 11, 18, 25 and August 1, 8, 15
11:00 am – 1:30 pm
Outdoor Concert Stage (J.K. Lilly III Automobile Museum in case of rain)
Begin your visit by setting out your blankets or chairs on a spot on the lawn to enjoy interactive family entertainment on the Outdoor Concert Stage. These hour-long performances have something to please everyone in the family, including puppet shows, dancing, comedy, storytelling, music, and in most cases, a mix of everything! After the performance, head over to the Hosta Garden by the Windmill to complete a craft or garden project. These hands-on projects allow your family to bring something special home to remember your visit to Heritage. Don’t forget to pick up a Family Treasure Hunt Passport at the Ticket Office, where you will be guided to a different museum ‘treasure’ each Friday, and after discovering this treasure, receive a stamp in your passport. Collect stamps each week and have a chance to win fabulous prizes! Summer Family Fun Fridays are FREE with museum admission and registration is not required.
August 8 – Ben Rudnick and Friends presents “Family Music, American Roots Style”
For almost 10 years, Ben Rudnick and Friends have been playing family friendly music featuring instantly hum-able, original songs and fun spins on well known traditional material. Boasting a high level of adventurous musicianship, their award winning recordings contain a unique acoustic sound ranging from light folk to bluegrass, calypso, and rock. Drawing on the original songs and traditional material from their recordings, Ben Rudnick and Friends seamlessly integrate classic songs such as “Route 66,” “Oh Boy!,” “Jambalaya/Hey Good Looking,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and Beatles’ tunes into their sets. Ben Rudnick and Friends will get you singing, young and old alike! After the show, be as cool as the band when you make your own rockin’ sunglasses and visit the Corvette on Route 66 to find the passport stamp!
