Community Days
Our Community Days are free events that invite the community to experience Whitaker Center in an open, inclusive way. These seasonal celebrations feature hands-on activities, interactive experiences, and opportunities to explore our spaces together — no purchase necessary (but registration is required).
Community Days are:
- Free and open to the public
- Offered seasonally throughout the year
- Designed for families, friends, and neighbors of all ages
Each Community Day has its own theme, activities, and special features so no two are exactly the same.
