Meet Your Local Macaroni KID Publisher!

Hi, I'm Xochitl! 💜

Welcome! I'm so happy you're here.

I'm the local publisher behind three Macaroni KID communities serving families throughout the Central Valley. As a mom, I know firsthand how hard it can be to find family-friendly events while juggling everyday life. That's why I'm passionate about bringing local families one easy place to discover fun things to do, community resources, seasonal guides, camps, classes, and hidden gems throughout our area.

🤝 Let's Work Together!

Macaroni KID is more than just an event calendar—it's a community resource dedicated to helping local families discover the best events, activities, businesses, and opportunities throughout the Central Valley.

When local businesses advertise with Macaroni KID, they're not just promoting their business—they're investing directly back into our community. Advertising dollars help support free family events that I host throughout the year, as well as the crafts, activities, and hands-on experiences I provide for children at community events across Modesto, Turlock, Tracy, Manteca, and the surrounding areas.

From scavenger hunts and seasonal celebrations to free crafts and family activities, my goal is to make local events more engaging and accessible for families while creating meaningful opportunities for businesses to connect with the community.

If you're interested in advertising, sponsorships, giveaways, event promotion, or community partnerships, I'd love to connect and explore how we can work together to support local families.
