Here’s lookin’ at you, kids. The Charlotte Kids Festival returns on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The whole family can enjoy hands-on activities, educational experiences, workshops, and performances that are broken up by themes: Create, Dance, and Discover — so there’s something engaging for everyone.

Psst... The festival has a new home this year at The Shoppes at University Place. Head to the festival’s website for more information.
