Festival of Lights Pre-Parade Party

Get your play in before heading to the 2026 Downtown Brookings Festival of Lights Parade. No admission is needed, but any donations made that night will be put toward our Access Fund. Play along with us in the Museum exhibits! Also, be sure to stop in the Art Studio to write a letter to Santa. Drop it in our mailbox and we will get it to the North Pole in time for Santa to make his list! The Downtown Parade of Lights starts at 7 pm. Find more information on the Downtown Brookings webpage. Our Access Initiative helps ensure that every child and family has access to a high-quality children’s museum experience regardless of their ability to pay.
