Free 'Fam Jam' event today at Marion Square

The Children's Museum of the Lowcountry is celebrating the power of play with free event at Marion Square and free admission to the Museum.

The Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry is hosting its first free Fam Jam Festival this Saturday, April 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Marion Square in partnership with the City of Charleston Farmer’s Market.

Marion Square will be transformed into a giant playground to empower children and their families that being active is fun. Families have the opportunity to take part in a series of fun-filled, outdoor activities and fitness demonstrations, jump around in four jump castles and tower up a climbing wall.

Live music will fill Marion Square along with break dancers, student music group performances and appearances by Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr, News 2’s Carolyn Murray and Y102.5’s Brian Cleary. Those that attend Fam Jam will receive a special sticker to gain free admission to the Children’s Museum that day.

Fam Jam 2012 is presented by Lucey Mortgage Corporation, News 2 WCBD, Y102.5 and the Digitel Charleston and is sponsored by Moe’s southwest grill, Anchor Sign, Anderson Insurance Associates, Other Brother Entertainment, Half Moon Outfitters, McAlister Development, Raising Cane’s, Rehabilitation Centers of Charleston, Retina Consultants of Charleston, Waldorf Family Fund, and Anne Marie, Jimmy & Catherine Hagood.
