Port Discovery Children’s Museum Invites Kids to Ring in 2014 Before Bedtime at 15th Annual Noontime New Year Celebration

Lindsay Hebert, Local Business

Port Discovery Children’s Museum invites families with children ages 10 years and younger to ring in 2014 before bedtime during its 15th annual Noontime New Year celebration on December 31, 2013.

This year’s event will feature a “Royal Masquerade” theme, and kids are encouraged to dress in their favorite medieval costumes as they enjoy a full day of royal games including ring toss, hopscotch, bowling, and kid-friendly jousting; craft stations to make their own masks, confetti and fairy wands; and entertainment including a dance party with DJ Bobby Nyk and performances by popular children’s musicians The Kindersinger and Mr. Gabe.

At 12pm, guests will countdown to the New Year and celebrate with Port Discovery’s traditional juice and cookie toast.
