Target Family Days, generously sponsored by Target Stores, will transform Theatre Way, near the corner of Broadway and Middlefield Road, into a fun, walkable assortment of culturally-themed family entertainment this summer. There will be something for everyone on three fun-filled Sundays, 11 am to 3 pm, once a month in July, August, and September. And, Theatre Way will be closed to through traffic, making a stroll along beautiful Theatre Way a fun and relaxing family experience.
Each Target Family Day includes great food specialized for a particular culture, hands-on cooking booth with Chef Steve Cortez, themed face painting by Fairy Faces, hands-on art stations with FREE projects, street performers, bounce houses, and a lot more!
