Family Day

This event is a celebration of creativity, play, and community! Families are encouraged to drop-in at anytime to participate. 

Start the morning with a Babywearing Movement class by Pack Dance, designed for caregivers and their little ones. Then dive into hands-on art activities, enjoy sounds by DJ Munchkin, and catch lively performances by Blaque Berry Puppets and Dances of India. Grab a beverage or a bite to eat from AO&Co at CAM and complimentary snacks will be provided by Alkhmey Foods. Families are welcome to bring snacks for little ones. 

Outside, explore fun activities and resources for the whole family from the YMCA Mobile Y game bus and local organizations like MAP St. Louis, Freddie Ford Family Foundation, The Sheldon Concert Hall and Arts Gallery, and Great Rivers Greenway.
