Families are invited to Fayette 250 Kids Fest on Saturday, June 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the South Union Recreation Center on Pennsylvania Avenue. This free event is designed to celebrate Fayette County’s 250th anniversary by investing in our future — our kids — and making it easy for families to connect with the programs, services, and opportunities that help them thrive.
Fayette 250 Kids Fest will feature fun educational demonstrations that spark curiosity, theatrical performances that bring stories to life, and community nonprofit booths that share information about available services. Families can also look forward to activities for all ages, including games, crafts, and interactive stations. Snacks and refreshments will be provided at no cost.
The event is co-sponsored by A Child’s Place, Parents as Teachers, PA Senator Pat Stefano’s office, and the Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC).
“The 250th anniversary is more than a celebration of our history. It’s a celebration of the people that fueled that history and continue to make our country, our commonwealth and our county strong,” said Senator Pat Stefano. “Events like this bring neighbors together in a way that reflects the pride and sense of community that have defined Fayette County for generations, and it’s important that we share that pride with our youngest residents.”
Registration is not needed for families to attend this event. Nonprofits that are interested in hosting a table must register by June 5 with an email to info@cffayettepa.org. Nonprofits will be expected to coordinate an activity at their table for children and/or their families and to bring a basket for an attendee raffle. A table and two (2) chairs will be provided, and set up begins at 9:15 a.m. inside the Rec Center.
“We’re excited to bring families together for an afternoon of fun, learning, and community connection,” said Jessica Hajek-Bates, CFFC Chief Executive Officer.
