A Latino Celebration of Navidad | Friday, December 27 | 10am–1pm
In Latin America, Christmas is celebrated much longer than a day or two. Join us to celebrate how some of our local Latino communities do from Las Posadas to Día los Tres Reyes Magos. Enjoy dance performances by Baila Me Academy, join in bilingual Navidad story time, make crafts, and participate in other activities that will introduce you to Christmas—the Latino way.

Noon Year’s Eve | Tuesday, December 31 | 10am–1pm
For those of us who can’t stay awake until midnight, come to a New Year’s countdown in the afternoon! Explore different New Year’s traditions during a supersized story time, go on a scavenger hunt, play winter-themed games, and rock out to a concert by FIRE DOG before the balloons drop! Due to the popularity of the event, we’ll offer two balloon-drop countdowns this year, one at 11am and one at 12pm.
