This annual family event is like a comic book convention for PBS Kids, with everything from PBS KIDS-themed costumes and activities to live music, children’s books, and art. Proceeds benefit educational public media programming in western New England.

Kids can meet, hug, and take photos with PBS KIDS characters like Curious George and Clifford the Big Red Dog. They can play and learn with PBS Kids-themed activity stations hosted by education-focused community partners.
