Residents of Kiwanis Park are gearing up to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a bit of intergenerational flair. The "Lucky Leprechauns and Grandparents" event, as announced by the City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department, is set to offer a family-friendly atmosphere where children and their grandparents, or grandparent-like figures, can to come together to craft, explore, and make memories.
The gathering is slated for March 17 from 4 to 6 p.m, and it appears set to feature a variety of activities aimed squarely at the young and young-at-heart. Planned events include a DIY crafts station, an intriguing scavenger hunt, and the creation of special snacks. For families concerned about allergens, they'll be pleased to find the festivity is consciously being held as a peanut-free zone. Moreover, a sensory-friendly film screening will provide an inclusive environment for all attendees.
While this celebration is particularly targeted towards kids aged 3 to 12, grandparents are encouraged to get involved for free, with a modest charge of $3 per child. Oak Street Health is stepping in as the event's sponsor, highlighting their commitment to community engagement and family well-being.
With registration required, families intending to join the fun are advised to sign up promptly to secure their spot. This day promises to offer not just a nod to St. Patty but a chance to genuinely forge and to celebrate bonds across generations. The events details, including registration information, are available via the Raleigh Parks and Recreation's event page.
