Dance, drum and dress up Sunday at Tucson Children's Museum

The public is invited to FAME, a Family Arts and Music Experience, on Sunday, Oct. 23, at the downtown Children’s Museum Tucson.

The sixth annual event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 200 S. Sixth Ave., organizers said.

More than 2,000 children with their families are expected to enjoy creative and performing arts, music, food and center stage live entertainment by young performing groups.

“The arts so enrich our lives in every way,” said Neelam Sethi, the event’s co-founder. “We want FAME to be a special day for Tucson’s children to come and experience a world of playful creativity and learn of other cultures.”
