Community & Family Friendly


Public and Special Events the Family Can Share

We draw before we write, we dance before we walk, we sing before we talk. Experiencing the Arts together with our children encourages their creativity and builds connections that last a lifetime. We invite you and your family to join us at our Family-Friendly events, which are educational, cultural, artistic and just plain fun – things the family can do together and create lasting memories. Suggested age ranges, if any, are listed in the event details.ย 

ย 

Many events are free or pay-what-you can.ย  Donations at these events are encouraged to ensure they can continue with the support of our sponsors and the MAC Endowment.ย 

And please note: most of the events hosted by the Milford Arts Council (unless specifically noted, like our comedy series, Laugh Tracks) are welcome to everyone. If you would like your student aged child to accompany you to a concert or play, please call the office for a $5 student ticket. And remember, our outdoor events and exhibit receptions are free for all, and other events like Open Mic are only $5 at the door.
