On Friday, March 21, Crayola will host “The Most Colourful Reunion Ever” at Union Square in New York. The free, public event will feature the retired crayons that are coming back for a limited time.
The event will feature eight interactive spaces hosted by the crayon characters that are returning, including Dandelion, Magic Mint, Red Orange, Violet Blue, Lemon Yellow, Blizzard Blue, Mulberry, and Raw Umber. Each space is themed around a different continent and features fun, global-themed activities for kids to complete.

At the Dandelion’s North America station, kids can customize their passport, take a picture with Dandelion, and chart their past travel. Magic Mint’s Africa experience features a station where kids can get their faces painted based on their favorite animal. Kids can choose and personalize their own keepsakes at Red Orange’s Oceania experience. At Violet Blue’s South America section, kids can jam out to music and create designs with chalk in a DJ-inspired booth.
Lemon Yellow’s North America section features a light-up dance floor and a booth for kids to take 360-degree videos to share on social media. Creativity is cool at Blizzard Blue’s Antarctica station, where kids can complete improv prompts in an icy environment. At Mulberry’s Asia station, kids can practice mindfulness with meditations and a wellness experience. Finally, Raw Umber’s Europe station features character-themed refreshments.
The Most Colourful Reunion Ever will be open to the public at Union Square on Friday, March 21 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. ET. The limited-edition crayon characters will also make appearances at Crayola Experience attractions across the country this year.
