Join WQPT for a PBS Kids party on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025 at Western Illinois University-QC in Moline!
This free event features PBS Kids costume characters, games, activities, music, art and more. Event registration is required.
PBS characters attending include Rosie from Rosie’s Rules, Curious George, Daniel Tiger, Xavier Riddle, Molly of Denali, Elinor from Elinor Wonders Why and Carl from Carl the Collector.
In addition to meeting their favorite PBS friends, kids can join Alina and Hamlet Being Bilingual Rocks! to get creative with art, music, and dance, and explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) with the QC Botanical Center’s Plant Discovery Bus, the WQAD’s Beast weather vehicle and the University of Illinois Extension 4H of Rock Island County.
Each PBS character will have their own station with fun activities, games and resources to take home — all reinforcing the learning concepts of their specific program. Attendees will also receive a free book from the WQPT PBS First Book program.
Capacity is limited and event registration is required. Free tickets will be available on Monday, Sept. 15 at 8:00 a.m. here.
Volunteers are also needed to help make this event a success. More information about volunteer opportunities can be found here.
