Come on, Barbie, let’s have some fun in the sun!

Mattel and Barbie are gearing up for a big party — and everyone is welcome to the inspiring fête.  The toy company welcomes kids of all ages for the one-day “Barbie You Can Be Anything Festival” in Los Angeles on March 7. The all-day event will include speeches from inspiring female role models, interactive workshops, hands-on activities, empowerment sessions, and a musical performance.

The event, appropriately scheduled around International Women’s Day, will include a morning mindfulness and meditation session led by the people at Headspace, a live performance by Kidz Bop Live, and an aviation simulation with female pilots, all designed to empower kids of all ages.

All ticket sales from the Barker Hangar event in Santa Monica, California, will be donated to the Dream Gap Project on GoFundMe, part of Barbie’s mission to inspire limitless potential. Tickets are currently on sale here for $50 per person.
