Designed and managed by professional educators, the Veggie Fest children’s program provides a rewarding and enjoyable experience for kids of all ages.
Sat. & Sun. • 11 AM - 8 PM
Children’s Tent
Veggie Fest is a family event, with fun and educational activities that adults can share with their children. The Children’s Tent includes 1) an entire section of the grounds dedicated to activities and entertainment for your children, and 2) a separate play area for parents to relax with babies and toddlers
Activities at the Children’s Tent
Face Painting
Children ages 2-14 can get a fruit, vegetable, or other design painted on their face or hand. We only use high-quality non-toxic face paint.
Toddler's Area
This small fenced area for parents to relax and enjoy with their toddlers has books and toys. There is also a closed Mothers & Babies tent located near the Toddlers area for Mothers to nurse their little ones in privacy.
Music & Plays
Enjoy the performers with your children on the Children’s Tent Stage.
Crafts
Help your children with interactive and fun crafts that provide information on the vegetarian diet, such as Origami & Beading.
Photo Booth
Delight in a picture opportunity with a veggie-friendly setting. Take your child’s picture with some cute props and backgrounds.
Kids Parade
Join the Parade - Saturday
On Saturday around 5pm, children 0-14 years are invited to participate in the Vegi-kids Parade. Come dressed as your favorite vegetable or animal and join in the fun. If you don’t have a costume, we have masks for everyone! Use your creativity and join in our costume contest. Participation is FREE.
Learn to Meditate for Families
Sat & Sun at the Learn to Meditate Tent
Take a few minutes to visit the Learn to Meditate for Families tent near the Children’s Activity tent. Here your children can practice some fun “concentrate and focus” activities.
Parents, this is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn about how meditation can help your children. You might even want to try meditating as a family.
