Wheels have changed the course of history: a potter’s wheel, cart wheels, bike wheels, car wheels, propellers, fans, wind mills, the wheel of a sewing machine, color wheels, prayer wheels, pin wheels….. There is also the Wheel of Life; the wheels and cogs that ancient philosophers thought turned the heavens, seasons and day to night. The planets turn on a wheel, with the Sun as the hub. There are also wheels or cycles of the mind, helping to open or close it.
We hope you choose to open your mind, hands and heart by partaking in our free hands on activities. The Aurora Waldorf School, Nardin Academy, and The Catholic Academy are volunteering with us to help offer creative wheel themed activities. |
Michael Meldrum will celebrate his tenth year as Master of Ceremonies in our Performance Tent. We will also carry on the tradition of planting a tree on Elmwood Avenue at the end of the Festival.
Please join us Sunday at 4pm in creating a whirling, twirling, rolling, rollicking, and spirally people powered Parade of Wheels. Our Parade will be led by the 12/8 Path Band, The Gaia Tribe of Ilya’s Bellydance Studio, and master puppeteer, Franklin LaVoie.
As you enter Kidsfest, you will see our Donation Station. Donations are gratefully accepted and all proceeds go directly toward funding equipment, supplies and performances. Be sure to pick a carnation to add to our tree float.
Kidsfest is produced and sponsored by the Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts. It is also made possible with the much-appreciated help of many, many volunteers and generous donations from:
