Many nonprofits, businesses, and local organizations will be present to share programs and services that support families in Hamilton County and improve their quality of life.

Bring the entire family for an afternoon filled with learning, fun, and connection. Whether you’re looking for guidance, support, or just a fun way to spend your Saturday, this event has something for everyone.
