An event unlike any other in the Upper Midwest, this first-ever festival in Minnesota celebrates the magic of global theater, puppetry, circus arts, dance, music and storytelling created especially for young audiences and their families. Celebrate color, light and sound inside a giant inflatable, walk-through Luminarium sculpture. On the weekend, the festivities continue with a free outdoor World Party. Immerse yourself in rhythm and movement performed by Minnesota artists and in activities to capture the attention of young hands and minds. Get an up-close look at fluttering butterflies in our butterfly garden and add your creative flair alongside professional artists as we create an unforgettable work of visual art.
Food is available for purchase.
