Dunwoody Nature Center has a family outdoor "school of rock" concert in the park at 6:00 p.m. Here's what they have to say:
"Bring your chairs, blankets, and picnics for a family-friendly evening of music in the meadow. Enjoy music in the park while the kids run from creek to meadow and enjoy a stroll on our trails while music wafts through the trees.
Paul Green School of Rock Music is the nation's premier performance-based rock music program. We'll have the students perform some classics and modern rock songs appropriate for all ages!"
Admission is free for Dunwoody Nature Center members and children 3 and under; all others pay $5.00. Call 770-394-3322 for more information.
2. Riverside Park in Roswell hosts "Back to the Chattahoochee River Race and Festival." The race starts at 9:00 a.m. at Garrard Landing (Holcomb Bridge Road) and ends at Riverside Park. With prizes like "best costume" and "best boat decoration," it would be fun to see the canoes and kayaks finish the race.
After the race from 10-2, enjoy live music, face-painting, and other fun activities. Kids should wear their swimming suits, because you'll have access to the park's new sprayground. Incidentally, that sprayground is very well-kept secret; I tried to find information on it for my splash fountain round-up to no avail! But the promotional info says you'll be able to use it.
3. What are you doing for National Fishing Week (June 6-13), hmmm? Georgia State Parks have lots of fishing rodeos for kids this weekend. Take a class - compete to catch the most fish - do a "fishy" craft: each location has different activities. Most of these parks are an hour or two drive from the Atlanta area, but if you decide to spend the night, some locations will let you sleep in a yurt!
4. Imagine It! Children's Museum has a new exhibit starting on Saturday: Come Play in the Shade!: Exploring Trees Inside and Out. It runs from June 13-September 13, 2009. To get my take on the museum, click here.

5. You can still see the Wizard of Oz (with puppets!) at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center at 11:00 a.m.

6. On Sunday afternoon, you can go to the family summer camps at Bass Pro Shops - 12:00-6:00 p.m.
