Building for Kids Children’s Museum, in partnership with Celebrate Diversity Fox Cities, will celebrate what makes us unique at Diversity Discovery Free Day on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This free admission day will feature all the fun of the Museum plus local non-profits and community groups with hands-on activities for families to learn, discover and celebrate diversity.
Families can learn about Sikh traditions and dress a paper doll in Sikh attire with the Sikh Temple of Fox Valley, take pictures in a photo booth from the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay, learn about folk tales with African Heritage Incorporated, help create a community art piece for the BFKCM and more. The Mielke Family Theater will host dance and musical performances from cultures from all over the world.
