Let’s spread happiness—one smile at a time!
Get ready for a day of joy, laughter, and community spirit! The Karshner Museum and Center for Culture and Arts is bringing the UN’s global movement for happiness to life with an exciting festival for all ages!
Happiness isn’t just a feeling—it’s a global movement! The United Nations established this day to inspire positive change by focusing on three key goals: eradicating poverty, reducing inequality, and protecting our planet. Now, we’re bringing that mission to life right here in our community!

Live Performances – Enjoy music, dance, and cultural acts that will lift your spirits and get you moving! Featuring Flambuoyant Productions with face painting, stilt walkers, jugglers, and a spectacular circus performance.
