 The Children’s Tent is packed with artisans offering creative, hands-on activities and fun. (Activities in the tent are ongoing, from 10-5 each day unless otherwise noted.)
Other family-friendly events and activities at the festival include a ride-on choo-choo train, a bungee bounce, a Travelin’ Barnyard, and a model railway; juggling, fencing, and jump rope demonstrations–and loads of great music and dance on the festival stages.
