It's One Giant Party You Just Can't Miss at the 14th Annual Children's Festival
A Giant Purple Dinosaur, the Can-Do Crew, Sir Isaac Newton's Brain, Billy Jonas and more can be found at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion's 14th Annual Children's Festival.
This spectular 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 Barney™ as he brings a celebration as big as kids' imaginations with three interactive sing-along performances (Saturday only). Don't miss the opportunity to see everyone's favorite purple dinosaur in a special interactive sing-along performance. The loveable, huggable T-rex invites children to go and grow as they explore exciting places and encourages sharing, caring, imagining, dancing and learning along the way!
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. Come see Bob the Builder as he takes a break from building, digging and hauling for a special interactive sing-along performance. With tools like a positive attitude, team work and problem-solving skills, Bob the Builder is eager to tackle any job and demonstrate that The Fun Is In Getting It Done! Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the special day!
Mad Science® presents "Newton's Revenge 2," the spectacular live stage show that awakens Sir Isacc 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, and actions and reactions. They offer an array of interactive demonstrations allowing children to help them perform a dance-off demonstration and use specially-designed catapults while discovering Newton's Laws. Outrageous, interactive experiments and hilarious antics are guaranteed to stir a commotion about the science of motion!
Billy Jonas Band takes the audience on a journey through life while exploring themes of planet care, recycling, creativity, self-discovery and community. Everyone in the audience becomes part of a Billy Jonas performance that is full of original songs, soundscapes, stories and improvisations. He performs his original pieces on industrial percussion instruments and guitar, singing in a crisp tenor voice and supported by his band's multifarious and eclectic instruments. Themes of planet-care, recycling, creativity, self-discovery and community are covered throughout the performance. It's non-stop action and participation for all ages!
Kaminari Taiko of Houston mesmerizes the crowd with its unique, high-energy performance that rocks the stage with excitement (Saturday only). "Taiko" is a Japanese word for drum also referring to the modern style of kumi-daiko, in which multiple performers play different varieties of drums in an ensemble. Kaminari mesmerizes audiences with a unique style of taiko performances inspired by Japanese art and original world beat and rhythms. Children will experience the beauty and harmony of the natural environment and human spirit through the rocking taiko music. They will also learn about the history of taiko along with Japanese vocabulary throughout this interactive show.
