A Kid Zone that keeps them busy

Face painting, games, and hands-on activities like the STEM builds from Tracy Unified. Kids leave with something they made, and parents get a few minutes to visit the tables.

2026: Bridging the Digital Divide

The 6th annual Tracy Connects took place Saturday, September 19, 2026, focused on youth and seniors, two groups who often get left out as more of daily life moves online.

Every year's event raises money for local nonprofits working on that year's focus. The 2026 beneficiaries are The VOIC and UNeed2.
