In addition to what’s happening on stage today (more on that below!), don’t miss these fun activities from our Sunniefest partners…
e.l.f. Beauty is bringing big energy with their “Give an e.l.f.” campaign — celebrating confidence, creativity, and causes that matter. Share what you give an e.l.f. about: strike a pose, snap a photo, and personalize your very own e.l.f. lip gloss.
Coach invites you to cozy up in The Book Nook — a space to connect, get creative, and celebrate the power of storytelling. Swap a book, customize your own bookmark using salvaged Coach leather, and spend time connecting with the Sunnie community. Oh, and surprise… everyone is automatically entered to win a Coach Tabby bag.
The Science by Sunnie STEM Lab, presented by Lyda Hill Philanthropies’ IF/THEN® Initiative is where curiosity meets creativity. Explore the science of scent and take control of a real robot alongside an all-girl robotics team. It’s proof that STEM can be seriously fun — and absolutely for you.
Purdue University is here to help you discover your inner innovator. Snap a pic at their photo mural, send a postcard to a friend, then catch AI expert Dr. Kasie Roberson breaking down what artificial intelligence actually is — how it works, where it shows up in your everyday life, and how you can use it to fuel your creativity and shape what comes next.
Victoria’s Secret PINK brings its vibrant energy and playful spirit to life with an interactive Claw Machine experience, inviting guests to play and win exclusive PINK goodies that celebrate confidence and self-expression.
Celebrate your confidence with Invisalign! Stop by the Sunnie Spot terrace to show off your smile and capture your glow at their photo moment.
Dunkin’ is here to keep the energy high all day long. Stop by their iconic VW for a custom Refresher, grab a donut from the Sunnie donut wall, and snag some sweet Dunkin’ swag while you’re there.
Join Jacey Adler in the Craftcore Collective — with three creative stations where you can get a little messy, a little nostalgic, and reconnect with your inner child. Thanks to Michaels for generously donating all the supplies.
