Hey friends, Dori Zori here with a special guest appearance in the weekend guide. Hopefully you caught a very special Kids’ Disco mix from our good friends at Kid Boogie Down last Saturday. I was dancing the whole hour! But if you’d rather dance in a big, happy group (and who wouldn’t), you can this Saturday at Bavarian Bierhaus.
It's Kid Boogie Down's last party of the winter season, with free keychains for every child with paid admission, a special appearance by the Fairytale Birthday Company and cotton candy from Sugar Spun. Plus, you get the usual party atmosphere: live DJ’ing, lights, lasers, videos and more.
