Now in its ninth year, the Ventura Family Festival in the Park takes place from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at the Barranca Vista Imagination Center (7050 Ralston St). This free all-day event is fun for the whole family. There will be face painting, fine food, train rides, community information booths, arts and crafts, science projects and live entertainment.
The day begins with a Kids Swap Meet from 9am to 1pm. This is a "by kids/for kids" swap meet (under 18 years old). While new items, food and products that are part of a business are not allowed to be sold here, kids can bring their slightly used clothing, bikes, toys, books, games, etc to sell to earn some extra cash. Churches and community youth groups also use this as an opportunity to raise money for special events, trips and camps while other kids raise money for specific charity organizations, such as children's cancer hospitals, MS or disaster relief. It only costs $15 to rent a 10'x10' space. Click here to download the application. The deadline to apply for a rental space is April 30, 2012.
All Ventura Family Festival in the Park attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and/or lawn chairs as well as a nice picnic to the event so they can spend all day there in comfort. You definitely don't want to miss out on the Gypsies in a Trunk's performance of "The Adventures of Peter Pan" that will mark the end of the day's fun at 4pm. This professional troupe will be performing for free to the public at many Ventura Parks throughout the summer. Have some fun, spend a day with the family in the beautiful Southern California sunshine and create a lasting memory at the Ventura Family Festival in the Park on Saturday, May 12, 2012. There's nothing else like it here in Ventura County.
