Children’s Fest
The Three Rivers Festival will hold Children’s Fest in a new location for 2021. The event will take place in Freimann Square instead of the Purdue Fort Wayne campus. The free, family event aims to educate, entertain, and keep our community’s children ages 3-9 engaged. Children’s Fest offers fun activities, free samples, and interactive experiences including crafts, storytelling, magic show, and face-painting. Make sure to check out the new Tessellation Exhibit!
In addition, The Three Rivers Festival Kid’s Fun run is a 1-mile run/walk, held at Children’s Fest, for children ages 5-12. Kids participating in the Fun Run have fun while learning about health and fitness along the way. The event also counts towards Fort 4 Fitness’ annual Kids Marathon!
Children’s Fest is accessible to all families with easy access to public transportation. Children’s Fest is presented by PNC Bank, BF Goodrich, The Fort 4 Fitness Kids Marathon, and Majic 95.1.
