"We were inspired to create this event when we saw
our kids perform at our school's talent show. We saw how other kids became excited
about music by watching their friends perform. We started thinking about how
much the kids loved performing and really didn't see many places for them to
perform besides for their family and friends. We thought "what about an outdoor
festival?" When Joan Baez agreed to perform, KIDZSTOCK was born - A celebration
which showcases the amazing young musical talent and their contributions to the
performing arts of Marin County - all in a summer day of music and outdoor
activities for the whole family," said Rochelle Edwards, one of the volunteer
organizers and parent at Cascade
Canyon School.
