February Vacation Week Activities: The JFK Library Has ‘Em
The JFK Library has you sorted for Presidents’ Day and beyond if you’re looking for February Vacation Week activities.
And I’m going to go ahead and guess that, if you’re reading this, you’re looking for February Vacation Week activities. I don’t envy you. My kids are much older now, but I can remember those days-of-not-so-long-ago when they were little and their mom put maximum effort into making sure the winter break was full of fun stuff to do. She’s a rock star like that. Lots of good memories.
She’d be the first to tell you, too, that if you have a good local resource, use it. And that’s precisely what the JFK Library is. The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is located right off Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester, right next to UMass Boston. That’s right off of 93 if you’re driving, and parking is free. If you’re taking the T, the JFK/Umass stop on the Red Line is the one you’ll want.

It all kicks off on Monday, February 19, 2024 with their 13th Annual Presidents’ Day Festival. This year’s theme is elections, so kids can make their own Kennedy hats, design their own campaign buttons, and take advantage of museum tours and a free concert. Festivities kick off at 11 a.m. and run through 4 p.m. And the special festival activities are free with a paid adult admission.
Oh, and you can knock $2 off the price of admission, too. To celebrate the week, the JFK Library is giving out a special buzzword on their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, so give them a follow. If you say the buzzword during admission throughout the week of February 17-25, 2024, you’ll get $2 off adult admission prices and youth ages 17 and under will be free. Student, military, senior and EBT discounts are available, too.
