A key focus of the Children’s Museum is to be a gathering place for the community. In this spirit, and in partnership with community organizations, LICM hosts a variety of cultural festivals celebrating the traditions and customs of diverse cultures from around the world and in our own community. These festivals provide vibrant, authentic and rich multi-sensory experiences that create awareness and understanding, and provide opportunities for children and families to embrace Long Island’s diversity.
Funding opportunities available for all special events. Contact the development office at development@licm.org or (516) 224-5826.
