Get ready for a day of music, stories, and hands-on fun at The Mount’s second annual multicultural Community Day!
The festivities kick off with a rocking performance by Latin GRAMMY Award–winning, bilingual kids’ musician MISTER G, followed by a musical StoryWalk tour reading aloud his new book, Baby Ballena. Then, explore the grounds and dive into interactive stations hosted by community partners where you’ll create art, meet animals, complete scavenger hunts, make music, and tell stories. Visit every station to receive a special prize! Ice cream and food trucks will be on hand to keep everyone nourished.
Join us for a day packed with creativity, culture, and joy for all ages! Activities include: a Community Resource Fair; a family concert featuring MISTER G; Afro-Peruvian drumming with SíncoPaz; learning about life in the pond with MassAudubon; free, self-guided tours of The Mount; baby goats from HomeFarm; a bilingual Children’s Book Swap; and more!
