Join us at the Fort Irwin USO Center as we celebrate Purple Up Day and honor our incredible military kids with Harold’s Purple-Up Party!
Families are invited for a fun and creative afternoon featuring a showing of Harold and the Purple Crayon, purple-themed snacks, and a chance for kids to bring their imaginations to life with purple sidewalk art.
This special event celebrates the strength, resilience, and creativity of military children.
While all are welcome to attend, activities are especially geared toward children ages 6–10.
Wear your favorite purple outfit and come ready for an afternoon of movie magic, creativity, and fun with your USO community!
Registration is required for this event
This event is free and open to military families and is free.
We look forward to celebrating our military kids with you!
