“Families spending quality time with their young children is important for the strengthening of bonds that ensure healthy development,” said County Executive Donovan. “We are proud to be a sponsor of such an enriching experience for families and we look forward to a fun-filled afternoon, indoors, rain or shine!”

The Festival will include multicultural dance performances that include African, East Indian, Korean, Latino, and Middle Eastern cultures. The program is interactive and will engage the children and their families.
