Postponed: Summer BreakOUT!
Due to inclement weather, this event is postponed until June 18.
Kick off summer in the best way possible at our Summer BreakOUT in the Park! This free, fun-filled day is packed with all the best summer activities for kids and families to enjoy. Start the day with Children’s BINGO, get up close with fascinating critters at the Meet the Invertebrates program from the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, and test your skills on a free mini golf course. Cool off with two giant water misters and water play toys in Park Street Arena, get creative with summer-themed crafts, and grab a bite from delicious food trucks. As the sun sets, end the night with a magical Firefly Parade, where you’ll march through the Park with your own handcrafted glowing firefly bugs. Don’t miss this ultimate summer celebration!
