WIPB TV's Be My Neighbor Day
1pm to 4pm @
Canan Commons
Downtown Muncie
500 S. Walnut St
This free family event will focus on the importance of being a good neighbor!
Meet Daniel Tiger, star of the PBS KIDS' animated series "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood."
Use a “neighborhood map” to visit the booths where our community’s great neighbors “live.” Participate in fun activities while learning about ways to give back -through volunteering, supporting the arts and helping those in need.
Snap a selfie with some of your other favorite PBS KIDS characters like SuperWhy and Buddy the Dinosaur, who will be hanging out in the neighborhood, or be the “I” in the “One Muncie” sign.
Visit with members of our local police and fire departments and their cool vehicles.
Listen – and dance, of course - to our featured performer Ruditoonz, a fun, creative musician the kids (and parents) are going to love. The Muncie Symphony’s Together In Music program will also perform a selection of great, toddler-friendly tunes.
And, above all, enjoy a beautiful day in the neighborhood with YOUR neighbors!
