In celebration of National Maritime Day, this free event offers hands-on activities for all ages, including ship-in-a-bottle building, face painting, and maritime crafts.
Local community partners will host interactive stations throughout the gardens and museum.

Toddler Tuesday is an Oatland Wildlife Center program for 1-4 year old children and their caregivers that focuses on one of Oatland’s animals, or a relevant nature theme. The program will meet at the picnic pavilion and will include singing, finger play, a story, and a possible encounter with one of our furry, feathered or scaly residents.
Occasionally the program ventures to an exhibit, so dress appropriately and bring your stroller and walking shoes. Toddler Tuesday is weather dependent and in case of extreme weather and a cancellation is called for, attendees will be emailed at the address you registered your child with.
Sessions are offered twice on Tuesdays from 10-10:30AM & 11-11:30AM.
If you don’t see a new theme, don’t worry, the program runs all year except one week during 4th of July and over the winter holidays.
This family-themed festival is all about the “wee folks” getting up close with the natural world and encouraging imaginative outdoor play.
Dress in costume and flaunt your wings in our fashion show; mine for gems; frolic in the enchanted forest and help construct a fairy village.
Free and paid activities and concessions. Proceeds go to feeding Oatland’s animals. No outside vendors! For more information call Oatland at 912-395–1500 or learn more here.
