Children's Activities

Irish Fest is committed to the health, safety and security of our patrons and children therefore 2021 Children’s Area will look VERY different from previous years due to COVID virus and the fact that children 12 and under are currently unable to get the vaccine. We had to get creative and find ways to provide activities but also keep things spread out for social distancing and provide more self guided/engaged options.

What to expect:

1. ONE children’s area located in Washington park.
2. New Children’s stage with open air seating to allow for lots of places to spread out on the grass. Full schedule.
3. NEW Silent Disco (not just for kids but the entire family).
4. Scavenger Hunt and take and go craft coloring activity
5. Amusement activities and inflatable obstacle courses
6. Face Painting (extra fee)
7. Bingo
8. Balloon artists and magicians

General Activity Hours:

Fri, 9/3, 5pm-8:30pm

Sat, 9/4, 11am-8:30pm

Sun, 9/5, 11am-8:30pm

Please note:

Children not vaccinated are encouraged to stay at least 6 feet apart from people who don’t live with you or are not fully vaccinated, per CDC recommendations.

Come visit us at the Children's Stage located on the Washington Square Park. Three days of puppets, children's music, Irish Dancers, Storytelling and so much more!

Silent Disco (NOT JUST FOR KIDS!)

Note: All headphones will be sanitized between users.

KC Irish Fest has created a coloring book that you can pick up at the Children’s Area entrance. This take and go activity also includes clues for our Scavenger Hunt. Participate in the Scavenger Hunt and bring back your book to go fishing “across the pond” to “catch” some prizes!
