Family Festival – “Play it Cool”

Take a break from the summer heat and bring the whole family to NOMA for a special festival with indoor activities for all ages. Admission will be free from 10 am to 3 pm and the day will be filled with family-oriented activities.

Virtual Family Festival: Courage and Care

Please join us for NOMA’s very first Virtual Family Festival! Since we can’t be together in person, we’ve partnered with local organizations and creatives to bring you on-screen fun at home. We’re exploring what it means to have courage and to take care of ourselves and one another.
