Cottonwood Kids


Children's Stage under the Cottonwood Canopy

The performing arts will come alive on the Children's Stage under the Cottonwood Canopy. The songs, magic shows, and puppet shows are designed with families in mind. Discover: Trish Place Puppets, Randy's Music Jam, Kyle's Magic Show, Kids' Zumba, and Karaoke for Kids.

 

In between the shows, children will be able to experiment with a variety of musical instruments as the Hastings Symphony Orchestra presents their "Musical Petting Zoo". And you won't want to miss Margaret Marsh and her zany collection of theatre props.

 

 

Art Participation Area

Children love to create and this is the area for just that! Everything those little hands need to make an art or craft project will be under one tent. Children will enjoy a variety of art and craft opportunities at the Harvard Girl Scout tent located close to the east entrance to Brickyard Park. A small fee will be charged per project.

 

 

Children's Area Extras

Our roving Balloon Man, Allen Sedlak, will share up-close and personal moments with the kids as he creates imaginative balloon creatures right before their very eyes. And kids won't want to miss the "first time ever" Cottonwood Festival Obstacle Course.
