The Festival of the Arts is known for packing our summers with chances to see everything from jazz to gospel to salsa to opera–they’ve even got a bell concert scheduled, for Pete’s sake. But it doesn’t stop there! They’ve got tons of stuff for the kiddos, too.

The Ha’Penny stage (you probably know it as “that platform behind the Carillon that my kids like to climb on”) will host a pretty exciting lineup this summer–and all of the shows are free! Go ahead and mark these dates on your calendars, ‘rents!
