Make Your Own Havaianas
Where: Rockwell Tent
Hours: 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
What: Now on its seventh year, the Make Your Own Havaianas event is still as strong as ever. Tell mom how you feel about her in slipper speak—create flip-flops using her favorite colors and add these mom-appropriate pins to your creation—a star and moon pin to symbolize how she makes your life shine, a crown, because she is the queen of the house, a heart (self-explanatory), and the “Happiness” pin, because she spreads happiness wherever she goes. Plus, each purchase of the Happiness pin guarantees a donation to Operation Smile, helping you spread happiness to kids with cleft lips and palate deformities.
