The
festival has something for everyone -- and
children are no exception. We've organized
a host of amusements especially for kids,
so be sure to bring them along!
For no additional fee, children can:
Hear
tales of Irish wit and history in the Story
Corner.
Participate in many fun crafts and creations!
Make
their own Keychains, Friendship Bracelets,
and Fairy Headbands -- great "hands on"
fun!
Paint
their names in Gaelic script with Sean Webber.
Learn
Irish Dance from a specialist in children's
dance instruction.
Make and take home their own Irish
Flags -- great festival souvenirs!
Paint maps of Ireland and other Irish
symbols on T-Shirts and caps -- more great
festival souvenirs!
Listen to Singers and Storytellers.
Your children will be captivated
by the amusing narratives and songs performed
by some of the festival's finest entertainers.
...You never know who might drop in!
Play with and learn about the many breeds of dog native to Ireland.
The Children's Area also features Inflatables, for which all-day wrist bands can be purchased for a fee of $2. The children's area will be open from 6pm-8pm on Friday, and from 1pm-8pm on Saturday and Sunday.
These
are just a few of the festival's fun and social
activities, designed specifically to engage
the minds and imaginations of children.
