What an incredible day at San Diego Family Magazine’s FREE Family Fun Fest!IMG 5829 copy

Thank you to the hundreds of families who joined us at the Salvation Army Kroc Center Corner Zone to celebrate community, connection and fun. Seeing kids laughing, parents discovering new resources and local businesses engaging with families is exactly why we love hosting this event.

The energy was nonstop from start to finish. Kids raced through the Temple of Doom obstacle course, soared on the zipline, bounced with friends and enjoyed creating crowns and Olympic gold crafts and won exciting raffle prizes.

Some of the most popular activity booths included the Olaf Snowball Toss, where little ones practiced their aim for frosty fun; the colorful KPOP Demon Hunters Derpy Station; and the Super Mario Bros. Driving craft, where kids designed their own race car wheel.

A special thank you to our generous vendors who helped make the day so memorable. We appreciate all our vendors, including Floaties Swim School, Community Health Group and Family Connection Chiropractic, for bringing their enthusiasm and valuable resources to families.

We are equally thankful for all of our dedicated volunteers who arrived early and stayed late, helping to ensure everything ran smoothly. Your time, enthusiasm and commitment make events like this possible.

 
The fun continues in April!
We invite families to join us for our next FREE community event, All Inclusive Day of Play: Starry Cinema, on April 19! This special event is designed for families of all abilities and will feature interactive activities and a sensory-friendly movie experience.
