Artist and poet will guide kids at Long Dock Park

On Aug. 27, nature science educator Evan Miklos will lead a family tour of Bannerman Island to see the lighting of Constellation up close and from the water. The tour and workshop is geared toward families with children five years and older. Tickets are $45 per adult and $40 per child at melissamcgillconstellation.com, and the boat leaves the Beacon Institute floating dock at 6:45 p.m. The tour will be repeated on Sept. 30.
