WHY VISIT
One Weekend. Many Family Opportunities.
Instead of searching separately for classes, activities, services, entertainment and community programs, families can discover them together and try many of them in person.
For Children
Try new activities, build confidence, create something, compete, perform, explore interests and meet organizations that can help you keep learning after the Expo.
For Parents
Discover education, healthcare, camps, sports, attractions, family services, local resources and ideas for what to do next weekend and throughout the year.
For the Community
Bring schools, nonprofits, businesses, universities, family organizations and local institutions together in one visible, accessible family event.
