9th Annual KidsFest

The 9th Annual KidsFest

Children and Youth Partnership is planning another exciting KidsFest to be held Friday, May13, 2016 at Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo from 9:30am – 12:30pm. Children, parents, grandparents and child care programs are invited to participate in a morning of fun, games, snowballs, ice cream and play activities.

KidsFest has become an annual event celebrating the young child and promoting the importance of play in developing the minds and imaginations of young children. Readi­ness for school is more than basic knowledge of language and math, and includes all facets of development: physical, cognitive, social, and emotional competencies. Play and good play environments allow opportunities for children to discover, create, imagine, explore, and experience materials that will foster language skills, writing, cooperation, and scientific and mathematical concepts.  The Outer Banks is a beautiful place for young children to connect with nature and develop a love for the outdoors and all that it offers in our community, and Roanoke Island Festival Park is the perfect venue for a wonderful morning of KidsFest fun!

This exciting event is provided free-of-charge, but would not be possible without the support of the Dare County community, and all of our local sponsors.

Contact Children and Youth Partnership for Dare County at 252-441-0614 for more information. (Rain date is May 20th).
