Arbor Annie’s Weekend Picks June 21-23

How was your first week of summer break? My daughter enjoyed taking it easy – in between swimming, softball, playgrounds, and the library.

Arbor Annie’s Weekend Picks

Top of the Park continues this week and through July 7. Sunday is Family Night featuring family/kid music and a family-friendly movie – Paddington. Check out our Kids Guide for all the activities and our tips for attending.

The Ann Arbor Jaycees Carnival runs through Sunday. Be sure to check out our review and live walkthrough before heading to the fair this weekend.

It’s a movie weekend. Michigan Stadium is holding a Movie Night and showing Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse. We had fun last year and are looking forward to this year’s movie. Toy Story 4 opened on Thursday evening. We can’t wait to see it and will have a review on Sunday night.

Strawberry picking continues to be available. But I expect large crowds over the weekend.
