Baby Rave

Baby Rave is a family-friendly dance party created especially for little ones ages 0-4 and the people who love them most. On Aug. 29 from 4-6 p.m. at Bald Birds Brewing Company, families can enjoy music from a live DJ, kid-themed drinks and snacks, dancing, lights and a fun atmosphere designed for tiny feet and big energy. More than just a party, Baby Rave is a fundraiser supporting Roads to Peace in Lock Haven, with proceeds going toward helping domestic violence victims and their families. We wanted to create an event that brings the community together in a joyful, welcoming space while also making a meaningful impact for local women and children who need support.
