The Capital District’s most popular kids’ event is now in its 12th year. Continuing the tradition of exceptional programming, we’re proud to present Storybook Fun with Curious George. Based on the popular books by Margret and H.A. Rey, Curious George makes a special appearance at the Plaza in this fun, high-energy, interactive performance featuring songs, games, and dancing. Also making a big splash is everyone’s favorite sibling duo, Peppa Pig and George. They’re giving out plenty of hugs and smiles. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the special day. It will be more fun than a muddy puddle!
