New Location: West Capitol Park

New York State Office of General Services Commissioner Jeanette Moy today announced children and their families are invited to attend Kids Day presented by MVP Health Care where they will be entertained by characters from “Dino Ranch.” This free, kid-centric, outdoor event will be held at a new location this year — in the park on the west side of the state Capitol — from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 16.

“Kids Day is a special event when thousands of children’s faces light up at seeing all the fun things there are to do,” Commissioner Moy said. “We are excited to once again partner with MVP Health Care to present this wonderful event and grateful to all of the generous sponsors for their support.”

“We are so proud to support the 2022 Kids Day because it provides families across the Capital Region with an opportunity to get outdoors, enjoy fun activities, and celebrate our vibrant community,” said MVP Health Care’s President and CEO, Chris Del Vecchio. “MVP will be at the park throughout the day with games and giveaways that kids and families of all ages will be sure to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you there!”
