Throughout the day, popular PBS costumed characters including Elmo from Sesame Street, Clifford, Arthur, Molly from Molly of Denali, and Carl from Carl the Collector will meet fans during special meet-and-greet opportunities.
Families can also enjoy hands-on STEAM activities designed to spark creativity and curiosity in children of all ages. Kids will receive free coloring books and crayons while supplies last.
