This year’s Play All Day VA theme is “Passport to Northampton County”! Families and community members are invited to travel throughout Northampton County, Virginia enjoying a wide variety of FREE activities taking place all day long. Participants will receive a schedule of events and will visit different locations across the county to collect special stickers and stamps along the way.
Event schedules will be posted on Facebook, published in the Eastern Shore Post, and available at designated locations throughout Northampton County.
The festivities will conclude at Randy Custis Memorial Park in Nassawadox, VA where participants can pick up a Play All Day VA Passport Book and insert the stamps they collected throughout the day. Participants who collect 10 or more stamps will be entered into a special prize drawing during the community cookout.
Join us as we explore, play, connect, and celebrate everything Northampton County has to offer!
