Glow in the Dark: School Carnival

Kick off the school year with an evening of carnival fun at the American Sign Museum's Glow in the Dark event. Your family can explore the museum after hours and enjoy a full lineup of entertainment and activities. Scheduled highlights include guided tours of "Freaks & Sideshows: American Circus Banners 1920–1970" at 4 and 7 p.m., a puppet show at 4:30 p.m., a neon demonstration at 5:15 p.m., and live music from Jake Speed and the Freddies at 6 p.m. in the Ioka Theatre. Between performances, kids can enjoy spin art crafts, carnival-style face painting, ice cream from Johnny's Creamy Whip Ice Cream Truck, and a back-to-school photo booth. It's a great way to celebrate heading back to classes while experiencing the museum in a festive, evening setting. The event also includes an opportunity to donate to a school supply drive supporting local students, making it meaningful for families who want to give back to the community.
