LaurelKids Summer Series Continues

LAUREL, MD — The inaugural LaurelKids Summer Series offers monthly arts activities for children. The second event in the series will be held later this month.

The events, hosted by businesses within the Laurel Shopping Center, are led by Laurel artist Angie O'Neal. The series is designed to encourage creativity, strengthen community connections and provide families with affordable, engaging activities close to home during the summer months.

The remaining summer sessions will be held July 25 and Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. and are designed for kids ages four and older.

"Art gives children an opportunity to express themselves, build confidence, and connect with others," O'Neal said. "I'm excited to help create a welcoming space at Laurel Shopping Center where kids can explore their creativity while spending time with their families and meeting other children in the community."

LaurelKids was developed as part of Laurel Shopping Center's ongoing efforts to create meaningful experiences that extend beyond traditional shopping and dining.

"We wanted to create something that brings families into the shopping center in a meaningful way while supporting our local businesses," said Christine Stuart, property manager for Laurel Shopping Center. "LaurelKids is about creating memorable experiences, fostering creativity, and strengthening connections between our businesses and the community. We hope these events become something local families look forward to throughout the year."
