How We Make It Happen
Hampden Children's Day was first held in 1979 by community members that wanted to give back. A non-profit status was later established to keep things on track. 40+ years later, the event has tripled in size and an estimate 3,000+ attended the 2023 event.
With the exception of 2020, Hampden Children's Day has happened every year!

How We Make It Happen
This free community event deeply depends on the sponsorships from local business, donations, and of course, the hard work of our volunteers. Without this combination of magic, this event could not happen.
Thank you to all of our past and present sponsors and volunteers!

The day starts with a parade! Followed by the main event on the Hampden Academy campus. You will have a chance to watch a magician, learn about wild animals, participate in arts and crafts, bounce around in the many bounce houses, get your face painted, sample food from the many food trucks, and check out the local craft vendors.

The day starts with a parade! Followed by the main event on the Hampden Academy campus. You will have a chance to watch a magician, learn about wild animals, participate in arts and crafts, bounce around in the many bounce houses, get your face painted, sample food from the many food trucks, and check out the local craft vendors. Then we all go home to take a nap but return for more food trucks, a DJ, and the best fireworks display in the Greater Bangor area (or so we are told).
We've gotten so big we had to change locations to Hampden Academy!
Thank You to our 2024 sponsors
