Family-Friendly Fridays at BCM

COVINGTON – Puppets, paper airplanes, art that pops, birds of prey . . .  Fridays will be a flurry of family-friendly fun at Behringer-Crawford Museum during July.

Each Friday from 7-8 p.m., BCM’s open-air amphitheater will host low-cost, entertaining and interactive outdoor activities that grown-ups and kids can enjoy together.  Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children aged 3-12. Parking is free.

Here’s what’s happening:

 July 6: Rumpelstiltskin with Madcap Puppets.

The nationally recognized children’s theatre company presents a musical adaptation of the classic story of a young girl who must spin straw into gold to save her father.

July 13:  Skool Aid

Kick off your family weekend with an exuberant enrichment program provided by Skool Aid. Have fun with drums with a game called Che Che Kooley, which involves drumming, percussion, singing and dancing. Plus, take the paper airplane challenge: create paper aircraft and send them flying off a launchpad.

July 20: POPP=D Art

Have a one-of-a-kind experience making art outside POPP=D ART’s campy “gallery on wheels,” actually a transformed 1963 Rainbow Caravan camper, operated by a group of local creatives whose goal is to make creating art fun.

July 27, 7-8 p.m. – Beaks & Talons with Raptor Inc.

Get up close and personal with birds of prey. Raptor Inc. will bring three live avian ambassadors to the BCM veranda for a presentation on what makes them such supreme hunters of the sky.

Family-Friendly Fridays, supported in part by Riverfront Kiwanis, our members, the City of Covington, Kenton County Fiscal Court, ArtsWave, Kentucky Arts Council, the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame and The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. US Bank Foundation, take place at Behringer-Crawford Museum at 1600 Montague Road-Devou Park, Covington KY 41011.
