Be a part of FutureFest—where kids can spark their imagination and families can celebrate their collective power to invent the future! One of the DC region’s largest, free family festivals has it all: Real fun. Real tools. Real skills for the future. Join us!

Dive into KID City, where kids and families will build a city of the future—from the ground up—for a one-of-a-kind, interactive experience. Experiment with different tools and materials, build new skills from coding to design engineering, and help a city rise through this unique communal project.

Exhibits, demos, and live performances will inspire kids and adults alike and show the ties that unite us. Check out:
