Townsquare Media will be on location providing fun and mountains of sugary treats plus The Big Dawg DreDay will be ready to share his DJing magic with eager young minds (and even the grown-ups too!).

He will give insight into the art of mixing and provide a hands-on experience, so who knows, by the end of the day, there might just be a few budding DJs in our midst!
