Family Fun

Designed and managed by professional educators, the Veggie Fest children’s program provides a rewarding and enjoyable experience for kids of all ages.

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

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.

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.
