May 7, 2026

Here are Macaroni KID Frederick's picks for the five things to do in  Frederick and Mt. Airy with kids this week. Click on the links for all  the details!


1. Circus Skills with Theatricks

Join our performing coaching staff and some of our students as we show off a variety of circus skills, juggling, plate spinning and hat  tricks, mixed up with physical comedy.

2. Fri-Yay: May the 4th Be With You

Young Padawans and their adults are invited to explore a galaxy full of imagination! In this playful, age‑friendly spaced-themed program, preschoolers can build droids, practice “Force” moves, and travel through space using their curiosity and creativity.

3. Landsdale's Annual Spring Festival

Vendor fair and food trucks with pony rides, a petting farm, moon bounces, face painting and much more! Fun for the whole family!

4. Saturday STEMtacular: Science at Your Fingertips

Join us as we wrap up Children's Book Week and celebrate this year's theme "Books: Get Curious"! How many pennies does it take to sink a paper boat? What is Chromatography? How do you make rice dance? Bring your curiosity along for a fun hands-on science fair featuring items you can find around your house.

5. No-Sew Pet Blankets

Spend an hour making a cozy pet blanket. We will be donating the  finished blankets to a local animal rescue to share a bit of kindness  and comfort with our furry friends. No sewing experience is necessary,  but you must be able to handle fabric scissors.
