No Mother’s Day gifts are better than the company of one’s family—or those hand-spun by the kids. That’s why we’ve rounded up a host of Mother’s Day events around town on or near Sunday, May 13, that let moms spend quality time with their family. This is a very special day to enjoy with your mother or a special someone and Latin Trends will guide you as we find events through the city that will make her feel special.
Mother’s Day Weekend Garden Party
The New York Botanical Garden. Families can pose for pictures taken by professional photographers, fly a kite, play badminton, enjoy ragtime music and try their hand at watercolor painting. (Little ones can also craft a special card just for Mom.) When hunger sets in, they can enjoy a picnic on Daffodil Hill with treats from various food trucks.
On Sunday, the Bronx Arts Ensemble Family Concert puts on an interactive performance of the classic Beauty and the Beast (1, 3pm). Sat May 12, Sun May 13 noon–5pm. New York Botanical Garden. $20, children ages 2–12 $8, children under 2 free; food costs extra. All ages.
