Description

Letterland Activity Nights are returning to Pullen Park for another year of immersive learning and fun. This annual celebration, hosted in partnership with the Wake County Public School System, is designed to bring phonics to life for young students. By engaging directly with the beloved characters and concepts of the Letterland program, children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade can discover that learning to read is an exciting adventure rather than a chore.

Families are invited to participate in a variety of interactive stations designed to stimulate both mind and body. Attendees can enjoy face painting, navigate through obstacle courses, test their skills at jump rope stations, and explore interactive bubble areas. The event also features special appearances by iconic characters such as Clever Cat, Bouncy Ben, and Annie Apple, providing perfect photo opportunities for students.

This event takes place on May 4 and May 7, 2026. We encourage all local families to join us for these educational evenings that foster a lifelong love of reading. Mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable experience at Pullen Park. We look forward to seeing you there for a wonderful celebration of literacy.
