This year’s festival, which runs from 2-6:30 p.m., features:

  • Live music by The Honky Tonk Heathens, performing classic sing-along favorites.
  • Magic by Tom, featuring illusions and balloon artistry.
  • Ariana Does Stilts, roaming the festival grounds with stilt walking, balloon creations, and photo opportunities.
  • Face painting by JamiPaints.
  • Arts and crafts with Hey Ho! Let’s Grow.
  • The Musical Exploration Tent, presented by Queen City Music Studios.

  • Delicious food from Smoke & Soul Pit BBQ.
  • Interactive play areas, bubbles, hula hoops, ribbon sticks, and additional surprises throughout the afternoon.
  • Making his official debut this year is Aesop, the bright red balloon dog mascot of Mad Fam Kid Jam. Families will find Aesop throughout the festival and future Kid Jam events as the friendly face of imagination, music, and community.

Admission is free.

“Our goal is to create a memorable and remarkable day for everyone who attends,” said AB Garrod, founder of Hot Spot Collective. “We invite everyone to come enjoy the beautiful features of Ridgeview Park, and we are honored to utilize the iconic amphitheater stage.”
