Brooklyn’s best family house parties continue with fun and interactive activities that encourage creativity and discovery. Hands on art-making, gaming and technology exploration, storytelling and live performances all culminate in a raucous dance party for all ages.

From how we grow our food to how we treat our neighbors, everything on this planet is connected. Through art-making, live performances, and more, join in as you explore the different ecosystems of our lives, and what we can do to better care for one another and the place we call home. The day will culminate in a chance to dance together at an all-ages dance party, presented by Party Like Brooklyn, Baby.
