Kick Off Summer: A Celebration of Our Nation’s 250th Birthday with America's Awesome Kids!

Kick off summer with GBH at the GBH studio at the Boston Public Library on June 20 at 11 AM for a free community celebration! GBH is marking our nation’s upcoming 250th birthday with the launch of America’s Awesome Kids, a new series of mini‑docs featuring real kids from across the country—highlighting their diverse geographies, talents, traditions, and experiences.

Enjoy hands‑on activities, face painting, photo ops with your favorite PBS KIDS characters, and plenty of awesome kids in the spotlight.

As we look ahead to America’s 250th anniversary, GBH is excited to celebrate the next generation of leaders—kids who are helping their communities, sharing their stories, and flexing their civic skills. Come celebrate summer, our community, and the awesome kids shaping tomorrow!
