Coming Soon: The Ultimate Summer Kickoff at Arnold's Family Fun Fair!

Summer is officially here, and if you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate with the family right here in our backyard, mark your calendars! Arnold’s Family Fun Center is hosting its highly anticipated Family Fun Fair this Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Whether you have toddlers, teens, or you're just a kid at heart, this indoor/outdoor community celebration is the perfect way to jump into the season. The best part? Admission to the event is completely free!

KooKoo the cartoon magician performed up-close magic at last year’s Arnold’s Family Fun Day! He will be performing his full stage show this year!

Here is a look at what’s happening around the fun center this Saturday:

🐾 New for 2026: Hands-On Farm Petting Zoo

For the first time, Arnold's is bringing a live Farm Animal Petting Zoo right to the front of the building. Running the entire length of the fair (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM), it’s a completely free opportunity for the kids to safely interact with a calf, sheep, goats, pigs, bunnies, and baby fowl. Bring your camera, because the photo ops are going to be priceless!

🎈 Free Family Entertainment Schedule

The entertainment lineup is packed this year, so you'll want to plan your afternoon accordingly:

  • 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Get transformed with free professional face painting by the talented Jeanie B. Arts.

  • 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Come say hello to our local heroes! The Upper Providence Fire Department First Responders will be onsite with their trucks, interactive displays, and fun handouts for the kids.

  • 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Head inside to the Party Pit for a live stage show with KooKoo the Magician, who will be emceeing the main celebration.

  • 4:00 PM Sharp: Don't miss the countdown to summer featuring a massive, spectacular Balloon Drop right in the Party Pit!

Upper Providence First Responders include Fire Trucks, Ambulance and K-9 Police Unit.

Last year’s festival included a display from Elmwood Park Zoo, but this year, you can really pet the cuddly farm animals from Quiver Farms.

Live Local Music for a Great Cause

Over in the Water Tower and Bowling Center, the music will be rocking all afternoon. The Key Concert Series is hosting a full day of incredible original music raising money for “The YO Show – A Tribute to Jeff Porrini,” honoring one of our region's biggest champions of local original bands. Come out, enjoy the tunes, and support a wonderful legacy.
