FAQs
Is there an age limit to enter the event?
The Family Night Concert on Friday, June 9, 2017 is targeted to fathers and families with children ages 1 to 12 years old. However, many older youth also enjoy the performances. The performances are designed to engage the entire family. We also realize that there are many single moms who are the head of their households. Dads Night Out is not meant to exclude you. We encourage you to attend and bring a positive man (i.e. brother, father, uncle, etc.) to enjoy the evening with you and the children.
The Brunch on Saturday, June 10th is designed to celebrate fathers and engage them with their families. We recommend that dads bring guests that are special to them. (The guests that accompany you can be your children, spouse, significant other, mentee, younger sibling or student.)
There are no age restrictions or requirements for the Book signing on Sunday, June 11th. Come and pack the place out.
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
There is plenty of parking available at all 3 locations. All locations are near major Metro Routes too!
Who can I bring to the event?
Dads, uncles, grandfathers, father figures and moms too! Come out expecting to have fun with your family! Bring your cell phones and cameras so you and the family can take lots of pictures with your family, friends, and the performing artists.
