Nickelodeon has scheduled three Road to Worldwide Day of Play events that will visit San Diego, Calif., today to July 2; Detroit, Mich., on July 30 to August 1; and a third city on September 3 to 5, to be chosen by kids themselves via an online contest launching today. These summer events will culminate with Nickelodeon’s Worldwide Day of Play event on September 20, when the network goes dark and its partners host grassroots activities to celebrate play.
Through July 27, kids ages 7 to 12 can log onto www.nick.com/play to tell Nickelodeon why their hometown should get a visit during the Road to Worldwide Day of Play. One grand-prize winner will be chosen from the submissions to bring Nickelodeon-themed games, slime, and live-action stars to local events in their hometown.
As a lead up to September 20, Nickelodeon is partnering with organizations in San Diego, Detroit, and the third contest-winning city to bring Nick-themed activities to local partner events that encourage kids to get up and get active. These events will feature fun-filled games, appearances by stars from Nickelodeon hit shows, costumed characters, a grant presentation to a local non-profit organization, and more.
