September Means Kids' Fest

September 7, 2024

Calling all families and friends! We invite you to join us Saturday, September 21st from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. for the WNIN Kids Fest! This free, family-friendly event promises a fun-filled day of educational activities, live entertainment, and special appearances from your favorite PBS KIDS characters and much, much more!

During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to stop by and hang out with a variety of businesses and organizations from around the Tri-State. Each booth will host a hands-on activity, offer educational information and resources and even hand out goodies!

The event will also feature inflatables, food trucks, PBS KIDS Character Meet and Greets from Zadie from Work Out Wombats, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and Cat in the Hat. Not to mention the games that emphasize the importance of lifelong learning in our daily lives. And as it is Kids Fest tradition, every child will take home a free book of their choice!

“The WNIN Kids Fest is important because it gives us the unique opportunity to bring hundreds of Tri-State families together and show them just how much fun learning can be! Not only that, but it’s also a chance for us to connect the public with local resources they may not have known about before.” says Director of Events and Theater Karen Robinson.

In anticipation of the event, check out PBS KIDS programming on 9.1 WNIN PBS every morning of the week. Additional games and educational resources can be found on pbskids.org/grownups/.
