Fun for All

A series of free community events

We've heard time and again that finding affordable, family-friendly activities is a challenge in Hancock County. The Community Foundation is proud to provide Fun for All to help bridge the gap. In 2023, more than 10,000 people attended Fun for All Events. Participation increased to over 13,000 people in 2024! As of July 31, 2025, 10,600 people attended 42 Fun for All Events! We're looking forward to continuing this program!

See below for the schedule and details. Events will be added as they become available.
