Celebrate! Performing and Creative Arts for All Ages

About Celebrate!

The Celebrate! series highlights America’s rich cultural experiences through the arts with free performing and creative arts programs for all ages, especially appropriate with children ages 5 and up, as well as people of all ages. This program is tied directly to President and Mrs. Kennedy's concern for and support of the arts and culture in a democratic society.

Thanks to generous support from the Martin Richard Foundation and the Mass Cultural Council all performances are free.

In order to optimize your comfort and enjoyment, registration is recommended for all visitors to this free program. Make a reservation online or email [email protected]. All large groups can communicate with a staff member in advance to ensure that there will be adequate seating together. Children are seated on a carpeted floor with their caretakers and space is available on a first come, first served basis. Additional seats are available for people with disabilities, seniors, and others unable to sit on the floor. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

If you have any questions, email [email protected] or call 617-514-1644.

Sensory Flexibility

This is an inclusive program and both people with and without disabilities are always welcomed. A Flexible Calming Space (Quiet Room) is available for anyone who needs a break from the program at any time. Parking is free at the JFK Library.
