The Children's Festival offers something different for young minds to feed on Chinese acrobats, puppetry, juggling and giant soap bubbles. Now in its 17th year, this nationally acclaimed festival brings together dozens of performances from around the world that do kids the great favor of not condescending to them. With acts from Uganda, China, Italy, Canada and Belgium, this is one global festival. And it's not just about sitting and watching.
Kids also get to make baskets, puppets and musical instruments and do other fun hands-on stuff.
The Scene Most of the performances are geared to kids from about 5 to 13 years of age. The adults who accompany the kids may claim to just be doing their parental duty, but don't believe it, this stuff is as much fun for them as it is for the youngsters. Free stuff You can enjoy a lot of what the festival has to offer without even buying a ticket. Every day jugglers, story tellers and musicians entertain throngs of kids and adults on the outdoor stage. User Reviews Be the first to post a user review.
