Flag Day Celebration at Irvine's PretendCity Children's Museum

Flag Day is in full swing in Orange County, and residents looking for fun family activities with their kids can visit the Irvine PretendCity Children's Museum. 

All day at PretendCity, museum docents will help area children understand what the flag is all about.  

"There will be a dance party to a Grand Old Flag," Brenda Perez, Membership Coordinator. The PretendCity is ideal for children aged 2 to 8-years-old, according to Perez.

"Today we celebrate our countries flag and all that it stands for with educational activities," the Perez said.

Such activities include: 

• symbols in seconds
• literacy lessons
• music and movement
• holiday history

Next week PretendCity will present their super hero exhibit where the entire city will be transformed for resident super heroes. Dress in costume for $1 off admission.

"The exhibit will show that we can all be super heroes, firefighters and policemen, not just your comic book superhero," Perez said.

Today's Flag Day celebration will be held at the PretendCity Children's Museum, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
