It's a Giant Playground Filled with Fun, Education and Learning at the 15th Annual Children's Festival
Nov. 13 & 14

 

Children are invited to come out and play as The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion is transformed into a giant playground and educational wonderland at the 15th Annual Children's Festival, where learning is not only fun, but also exhilarating, awe-inspiring and eye-opening. The focus of Children's Festival is on the performing and visual arts for children, which includes live performances by award-winning entertainers and local children's groups, hands-on activities, arts, crafts, and much, much more.

 

This spectacular festival takes place Saturday, Nov. 13, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 14, from noon-5 p.m. Admission to the festival is $8 per person in advance or $10 per person at the door. Children 2 and under are admitted free of charge. The daily admission fee includes every show and activity, so parents don't spend the day dealing with tickets, tokens or endless lines.

 Angelina Ballerina

Main stage performances include Angelina Ballerina™, CSI: LIVE! presented by Mad Science, Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience and Hudson Vagabond Puppets' "Ferdinand the Bull" (Saturday only).


In addition to performances by professional entertainers, festival activities include hands-on arts and crafts, games, costumed characters and more in our amusing creative zones. Read more below.

Houston Community Newspapers' Arts Alley is a place where children learn about the elements of art through creative, interactive activities. They learn about lines, colors, shapes, patterns, unity, balance and more by using these elements to make imaginative creations they get to take home with them.
