Yay! It’s Friday! The weekend is here, and there are so many fun things to do with the family. One of my favorite annual celebrations is back this weekend, and it is FREE for the entire family.

Head over to the Laguna Art Museum, for Imagination Celebration,  a fun-filled day of exciting art activities for the whole family. Imagination Celebration is an annual county-wide event produced by Arts Orange County and the Orange County Department of Education in collaboration with multiple arts organizations. The theme for this year’s event is “Full Steam Ahead” (STEAM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), providing opportunities for children to participate in interdisciplinary art projects.

In addition to hands-on art projects, the day is filled with activities: face painting, balloons, story time, the popular art detective game, music performances, and more. Admission is free thanks to a donation from the museum’s Arts Council.
