BAM’s plans include carnival games, arts and crafts, and candy giveaways. Families are invited to wear costumes, and the activities will take place both inside and outside the Peter Jay Sharp Building.
Dress with the outdoor portion in mind: BAM has not specified which activities will be outside or published times for individual games and projects. Families with candy allergy questions can contact BAM before attending.
