Fun in the Sun: Bubble Palooza at Grandscape (The Colony)
Prepare for bubbles—lots of them. This free family event runs from 9 AM to 11 AM on the Grandscape Stage and Lawn with giant bubbles, interactive activities, music, games, and plenty of photo-worthy chaos. It is an easy way to get younger kids outside before the afternoon heat takes over.
STEAM Club: Design a Dino at Pilot Point Community Library (Pilot Point)
Young creators can put science and imagination to work during this dinosaur-themed STEAM activity from 4 PM to 5 PM. It is a fun pick for kids who enjoy building, designing, and asking approximately one million questions about dinosaurs.
Frisco RoughRiders vs. Corpus Christi Hooks (Frisco)
The RoughRiders open a six-game home series against the Corpus Christi Hooks at 7:05 PM at Riders Field. A weeknight baseball game is a solid summer outing for families, date night, or anyone who believes snacks taste better when there is a scoreboard nearby.

Baby & Toddler Storytime at Pilot Point Community Library (Pilot Point)
Little readers can enjoy a short, age-appropriate storytime from 10 AM to 10:30 AM. This is a low-key morning option for babies, toddlers, and caregivers who want an activity without committing the entire day.
Preschool Storytime at Pilot Point Community Library (Pilot Point)
Preschoolers get their turn from 10:45 AM to 11:15 AM with stories selected for young children. Families with children in both age groups can make one convenient library morning out of the back-to-back sessions.
Walnut Wednesdays at Frisco Heritage Center (Frisco)
Turn a midweek outing into a small local-history adventure at the Frisco Heritage Center. Walnut Wednesdays feature family learning activities designed to make the past more approachable than simply reading dates from a plaque.
Rook and Roll Community Chess Club at Frisco Public Library (Frisco)
Chess players can practice strategy, meet other local players, and enjoy a screen-free challenge at Frisco Public Library. Beginners can learn while experienced players test whether their favorite opening still has a little magic left in it.
Frisco RoughRiders vs. Corpus Christi Hooks (Frisco)
The series continues with another 7:05 PM first pitch at Riders Field. If Tuesday did not fit your schedule—or one ballgame simply was not enough—Wednesday offers another chance to catch the action.

Stitch and Sketch at Pilot Point Community Library (Pilot Point)
Bring your own supplies and spend the morning knitting, crocheting, drawing, or working on another portable art project from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The gathering is open to ages 10 and older and welcomes all skill levels, so unfinished projects may finally meet their destiny.
Family Story Time at Frisco Public Library (Frisco)
Families with young children can enjoy books and an interactive library activity together. It is an easy indoor option when North Texas summer temperatures make the playground feel a little too ambitious.
Frisco RoughRiders vs. Corpus Christi Hooks (Frisco)
Thursday’s game begins at 7:05 PM at Riders Field. Arrive early enough to find your seats, grab something cold, and settle in before the opening pitch.
Friday, July 31, 2026
Summer Cinema at Frisco Public Library (Frisco)
Escape the heat with a family movie screening at Frisco Public Library. This makes a relaxed Friday activity for families who want entertainment without battling a crowded theater lobby or negotiating the price of movie snacks.
Sounds of Summer: Caribbean Waves at Grandscape (The Colony)
Bring some island energy to Friday night with an outdoor Caribbean music concert at Grandscape. Grab dinner nearby, find a comfortable spot on the lawn, and let the music do its best to convince you that North Texas is temporarily a tropical destination.
Frisco RoughRiders vs. Corpus Christi Hooks (Frisco)
Friday night baseball starts at 7:05 PM at Riders Field. With the workweek winding down, this is one of the easiest nights to turn the game into a full evening out with family or friends.
Saturday, August 1, 2026
Back to School Bash at Pilot Point High School (Pilot Point)
Pilot Point families can get ready for the school year from 9 AM to noon at Pilot Point High School, 1300 N. Washington St. Free food, school supplies, haircuts, and bicycles will be available while supplies last. Students must attend with a parent or guardian, and the giveaway is limited to Pilot Point ISD students.
Grand Opening of Bravo Park at Sloan Corners (Allen)
Celebrate one of Allen’s newest outdoor destinations from 11 AM to 4 PM at 785 Bravo Park Drive. The rescheduled grand opening includes live music, food trucks, local shopping, pickleball, yoga, lawn games, dog adoptions, and activities for the whole family. Bring a picnic blanket and make an afternoon of exploring the park.
Rotary Farmers Market at Hall Park (Frisco)
Browse fresh produce, locally made goods, and area vendors at the weekly Rotary Farmers Market. Morning market trips are also an excellent excuse to buy something delicious that was definitely not on the grocery list.
Play for All Sensory Swim at Frisco Athletic Center (Frisco)
This sensory-friendly swim session creates a more comfortable aquatic experience for individuals with sensory needs and their families. Check the event page for registration requirements and session details before heading out.
Frisco RoughRiders vs. Corpus Christi Hooks (Frisco)
Saturday’s game begins at 7:05 PM at Riders Field. Weekend baseball brings a livelier crowd, so purchasing tickets and planning parking ahead of time is a smart move.

Frisco RoughRiders vs. Corpus Christi Hooks (Frisco)
The homestand wraps up with a 6:05 PM Sunday game at Riders Field. The earlier start makes it a family-friendly way to close the weekend without turning Monday morning into a personal endurance event.
