We hope to see you tomorrow (Sunday, May 17) at 2 p.m. at our annual Painted Rock Hunt where you can look for one-of-a-kind rocks that are hidden all over the playground for you to find.

This year's rocks were hand-painted by the Cary community at Kids Together's rock painting station at the 2026 Spring Daze Arts & Crafts Festival. Come find one specially decorated rock at the (free!) Painted Rock Hunt! (One rock per person, please!)

Another accessible, inclusive, and FREE event presented by Kids Together!

One-of-a-kind rocks will be hidden all over the playground for you to find and decide if you want to keep it, trade it, or hide it again for someone else.

This year's rocks were hand-painted by the Cary community at Kids Together's rock painting station at the 2026 Spring Daze Arts & Crafts Festival.

Whether it's the rock you painted or somebody else's, come find one special, lovingly decorated rock at the (free!) Painted Rock Hunt! (One rock per person, please!)
