Coming this Summer

Let's Get Silly TOGETHER!

Wow, are we thrilled to be telling you about this. Come play with music during an outdoor, socially distanced performance on August 7^th at The Field at Stanley Marketplace. The music from our virtual "Let's Get Silly" program will come to life in this lively and fun return to in-person Tiny Tots programs. Listen to the silliest instrument sounds you can imagine, explore emotions, and make funny faces along with the music, play a game of freeze dance with the orchestra, and more.

Here's what we know: it's going to look different than a "normal" Tiny Tots programs. We will follow all health recommendations and adjust programming accordingly. You will have a designated area for your family, and children will likely move around to see different groups of musicians playing. You will also get a musical craft bag to take home. We will also make music and bring a morning of fun musical moments for you and the child(ren) in your life.

Currently, we plan to have multiple programs on the day of the 7th. Purchasing tickets now secures your spot to one of the program times, which will be assigned later as we know more about program capacity and spacing. We are capping available tickets to align with current health guidelines and will adjust capacity up if possible as we get closer to the date.

We are announcing these programs now to help us gauge interest. We will add more summer dates if the interest is there. If you have a hybrid or VIP Tiny Tots package, you will be contacted separately to find out if you want to use your complimentary tickets to these events.

You do not need to register unless you want more than four tickets.
