About this Event
Families are invited to explore, create and connect through hands-on experiences inspired by the spirit of the season and our community. Paint a kindness rock, add your voice to a collaborative community piece, and complete exciting STEAM challenges. Along the way, discover how art, technology, storytelling and creativity can bring people together and help us celebrate the places we call home.
Every child will also leave the event with a free book!
This event is designed for ages 3–14, but all ages are welcome.
