Children's Art Festival
Location: Riverside Park
The Children's Arts Festival is fun-filled day of artistic, musical and theatrical activities for parents and children ages 2 to 12. Those partaking in the day's festivities can expect creative workshops for the children such as Maskmaking, Clayworks, Lanterns, Rhythm Drumming, Puppetmaking, Henna, Artist Trading Cards, Hip Hop, Primitive Art, Beads & Hempwork, Theatre Games, Songwriting, Creative Movement, Nature Stencil Art, Bellydancing and Watercolour Painting. There are amazing performances by local music, dance and theatre groups in our very own Storytelling Tent - the children are often entertained BY children who love to share their talent! Community groups are also invited to set up in the park to promote their organization, and provide children with small arts projects. The Children's Arts Festival is the perfect way to spend a Saturday with the family - fun for everyone guaranteed!
