EFMN’s annual Shining Stars event returns to Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America on Saturday, October 10 from 1:00–4:00 PM, bringing together children and teens (ages 17 and under) from across Minnesota who live with epilepsy, along with their families. 

This special day is all about connection, celebration, and joy. Shining Stars and their families are invited to connect with other families who have a child with epilepsy while enjoying activities like a photo booth, art projects, STEM activities, games, food and Nickelodeon character appearances, followed by free time to explore and go on rides. This year Shining Star families will receive free ride wristbands, good for 3 hours at Nickelodeon Universe.
