There will also be live performances from local dance studios and music groups.

“Children’s Festival of the Arts is a time we take to recognize our youth’s artistic talent along with the hard work our art educators put in year-round,” said Arts Program Supervisor Cassandra Contreras. “It’s an event that brings our community together, old and young, to be creative, think outside the box, and to enjoy each other’s company by creating art.”
