Calling all families to join in on the fun at the Explore! Children’s Festival located at The Modern at Art Place Fort Totten. On Saturday, August 13th, 20th, 27th and September 3rd, guests can enjoy free face painting, balloon twisting, magic shows, arts and crafts, sweet treats and snacks.

Each festival will also include live performances or demonstrations from local organizations and artists.

On Saturday, August 13th we hosted Cowboy Barry’s Petting Zoo along with a Storytime event with our new neighbor, the recently re-opened Lamond-Riggs/ Lillian J. Huff Neighborhood Library.

On Saturday, August 20th, guests enjoyed live music from The Uncle Devin Show, an interactive musical experience for children that uses percussion instruments to cultivate their minds – a dynamic cross between DC’s Trouble Funk and Schoolhouse Rock.

This coming Saturday, August 27th, guests can enjoy free face painting, balloon twisting, magic shows, arts and crafts, sweet treats and snacks.

Guests for the September 3rd event will be announced soon.
