Summer is here, and we’re ready to help your family make the most of it! Our June issue is packed with ideas for keeping the season fun, meaningful, and memorable — from 4th of July celebrations across Monterey and Santa Cruz counties to a summer bucket list of 52 low-cost and free activities your family will love. We’ve also rounded up all the details on summer reading programs through Monterey County Free Libraries, so the learning doesn’t stop when school does.
And because summer and birthdays so often go hand in hand, we’re devoting a big part of this issue to celebrations — rethinking what a birthday party can look like, honoring kids whose special days fall in summer or near the holidays, and marking every milestone from one to eighteen with ideas that feel just right.
This issue is brought to you by our friends at Moonflower Dentistry in Pacific Grove, a dental home reimagining what a visit to the dentist can feel like for the whole family — kids, parents, and everyone in between.
