Families, bring your dancing shoes and prepare for lots of fun! The Toe Jam Puppet Band offers a special brand of hands-on children’s entertainment that grown-ups can actually enjoy. The performances are very active, encouraging kids and parents to sing and dance along with the band as they entertain with a unique combination of original songs, masterful shadow puppetry, storytelling and just plain old good fun! This concert is presented in collaboration with the North Suburban Child & Family Resource Network.
This program is supported by a grant from the Malden Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Nile, the inflatable43-foot whale, is returning to Malden on Friday, July 15, at 2 p.m!

This special whale education program is presented by Cynde McInnis, who has loved whales and been learning about them since she was eight.

This program is generously funded by Preotle, Lane & Associates.
