Families can watch African drumming and dance, shop local and international vendors, make arts and crafts, join children's activities and listen to storytelling, all built around the idea of building community one thread at a time. The festival falls during the museum's Celebration Crossing holiday season, so kids can also ride the Snowfall Express and explore the winter displays the same day. It is included with museum admission (members free), with $4 parking validation. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Family New Year's Eve at the Indiana State Museum](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/family-new-year-s-eve-at-the-indiana-state-museum--listing-90459f26902f18e46077d658) — Thu, Dec 31 · 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM · Indiana State Museum · All ages · From $18 · checked Oct 24.
