I’m happy to announce we’ll continue our strong streak of free Michaels Kids Club events as we close out the year. These are in-store sessions where kids get to make customized art projects to then take home and keep. All supplies are included too!
One change I’m seeing for this year is that some events are on Sundays, while others fall on Saturdays.
These events typically are offered in most locations, but some stores can be hit or miss. The events also typically run from 2pm-4pm in my area, but each store is free to set their own hours, so please be sure to double check with your local listing. I saw a lot of 11am-1pm events this time around.
The easiest way to see if your local store is participating is to use this link of in-store events and then select your local store from the left sidebar. Here’s what I’m seeing on most upcoming schedules:
