Check out this schedule of FREE shows for kids at the Levitt Pavillion in Westport. I've never been but my friends tell me that it's a great place. They just bring some chairs and a picnic and make a night of it. Not only is it free, but these are some quality performances, not just some local yocals putting on a show. The Steve Songs performance on July 9th is the one I'm definitely planning to attend with my daughter. I've heard great things about Steve, a Connecticut resident who has a show on PBS Morning Block. You can listen to his music by clicking here. For more details about this and other kids' shows at the Levitt, visit www.levittpavilion.com
