🎉 Melanin in the Park x First Street Market: Dance Party for Littles! 🤎
More Color. More Joy. More Us.
Get ready to dance, play, and celebrate community!
Melanin in the Park is teaming up with First Street Market to bring you a FREE Dance Party for Littles! A morning filled with music, movement, costumes, and good vibes for our little ones and the grown-ups who love them.
Melanin in the Park was created to bring Black and Brown children and families together in spaces where they can see themselves reflected, build friendships, and experience the joy of community. While representation is at the heart of what we do, ALL families are welcome! 🤎
We're bringing that same energy indoors for a morning of fun!
