PBS Kids Day is Sold Out. Here’s How You Can Get Tickets.

Plus two other Arizona stories.

Sesame Street is headed to downtown Phoenix this Saturday, with some of the show’s most popular characters lined up to attend Arizona PBS’ annual Kids Day.

The event, hosted at Civic Space Park, will also feature kid favorites like Curious George and the Cat in the Hat, and will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kids will have the opportunity to work on crafts, play games, and meet some of their favorite characters.

General admission for the event is sold out, but tickets are still available through Arizona PBS. The station reserved VIP tickets for anyone that registers for their Family Membership Program.

The PBS Kids Day Festival is an annual event that began in 2016.
