Family Fun Day "An Interactive STEAM Fair"

STEAM URBAN and the Newark Public Library are partnering to present a free, arts-centered Family Fun Day: An Interactive STEAM Fair, Saturday, June 29th from noon to 3 pm. This event is an indoor-outdoor arts education experience for festival attendees of all ages. 

Both the Pocket Park & Outside in the courtyard will be activated. There will be a DJ and seating for family rest time. Across the street at Harriet Tubman will be food and the performance stage. 

Free, accessible and culturally responsive youth and family programming that is creative, engaging and fun while being educational and trauma-conscious is vital for our community. This program centers these needs by expanding access to STEAM education in support of the social, emotional, and educational well-being of Newark's arts community.
