Nov. 14 & 15 
 
Up With PeopleThe 14th Annual Children's Festival at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is transformed into a giant playground and educational wonderland for kids where learning is not only fun, but also exhilarating, awe-inspiring and eye-opening.
 
This spectacular festival takes place Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 15, from noon - 5 p.m. Admission to the festival is $6 per person in advance or $8 per person at the door. Children under 2 are admitted FREE. The daily admission fee includes every show and activity, so parents don't spend the day dealing with tickets, tokens or endless lines.
 
Get ready for a super-dee duper time with everyone's favorite purple dinosaur, Barney™, as he brings a celebration as big as kids' imaginations to the Pepsi Main Stage with three interactive sing-along performances (Saturday only). From paving roads to building a whole new town from the ground up, there's no challenge too great for Bob the Builder™ and his Can-Do Crew as he takes the stage (Sunday only) for three sing-along performances. Mad Science® presents Newton's Revenge 2, the spectacular live stage show that awakens Sir Isaac Newton's brain after 300 years of sleep. Professor Pruvitt and Crash attempt to demystify the fundamental Laws of Motion by investigating the principles of inertia, acceleration, actions and reactions. Through sing-alongs, bang-alongs and whisper-alongs, the Billy Jonas Band takes the audience on a journey through life while exploring themes of planet care, recycling, creativity, self-discovery and community. And Kaminari Taiko of Houston mesmerizes the crowd with its unique, high-energy performance that rocks the stage with excitement (Saturday only).
