About the event
Join us on the plaza for a fun and interactive game of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” — perfect for kids, parents, and families of all ages!
Step up with your team and answer questions based on real 5th grade subjects like math, reading, science, and history. It may sound easy… but don’t be fooled!
A live host will ask a question and start a short timer. Teams will work together to write down their answer before time runs out. If you get it right and stay in the game, get it wrong and you’re out for the round! The teams that answer the most questions correctly will win prizes!
Bring your family, cheer each other on, and enjoy a fun, lighthearted competition right on the plaza. Grab lunch from your favorite downtown restaurant, shop local businesses, and stay for live music starting at 12:30 PM.
