Birds, Nesting and Birdhouses

Terhune Orchards’ Read and Explore Program is a winter education series designed to engage young learners through stories, hands-on activities, and seasonal farm learning. The program follows the popular Read and Pick Program offered during the growing season. This session focuses on birds as they prepare for spring and new families. The program lasts about an hour and includes a story and educational segment. After story time, each child will make their own birdhouse and get nesting materials to take home.

Winter Fairy Festival, The Watershed Institute

Saturday March 7, 2026
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Fairies and Friends gather together for some magical activities at the Watershed. We’ll search for fairies hidden at each activity station using a scavenger hunt sheet, create some fun crafts, play games and flutter our way around the obstacle course and more. Come dressed as a fairy or other mythical creature. We estimate it takes about an hour to do all the stations. Please plan to arrive between 11 am-12 pm to get the most out of the event!

Children of all ages are welcome, under 2 years old are free. Adult attendance required

Circus Quixote, McCarter Theatre

Saturday March 7, 2026
2:00 PM

2 and 7:30

Cervantes’ classic is reimagined in a dazzling new production from the creators of McCarter audience favorites, Lookingglass Alice and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Somewhere in La Mancha there lived a man who read so many books that his brains dried up…so he becomes a knight! As Don Quixote embarks on his impossible quest for justice, Lookingglass Theatre’s signature acrobatics, breathtaking visuals, and boundless imagination transport audiences into his wild, windmill-tilting world.
