Celebrate Independence Day With Pacific Historic Parks

Child’s Play on the 4th 🇺🇸
Celebrate Independence Day with creativity, color, and connection at Pacific Historic Parks.
Join us for a morning of free, hands-on activities designed for visitors of all ages:
🎨 Poppy finger painting
✈️ Fighter plane decorating
🌀 Pinwheel making
Each activity invites families to create, learn, and engage with the stories that shape our shared history. Our volunteers will be on-site to guide activities, answer questions, and share more about the park’s mission of education, preservation, and remembrance. This includes explaining the significance between a Blue Star and Gold Star, which is part of the decoration on a pinwheel.
📍 Outside the Pacific Historic Parks Bookstore (next to the audio return kiosk)
