🎨 More to Explore 

The fun doesn’t stop there —there’s more for families to discover across the entire festival! 

Stroll through the Artist Market to find kid-approved treasures like wooden toys, colorful tie-dye, crochet stuffies, glitter tattoos, and more.

Visit the Emerging Artist Exhibit to see inspiring works from local students, from kindergartners’ colorful masterpieces to high schoolers' ceramics and paintings. And who knows, it might even inspire your little one to grab a paintbrush when they get home!
