It’s that time of year again, one that many Rogue Valley families and visitors have enjoyed over the past 45 years. The Jacksonville Children’s Festival held at the Britt Garden County Park is a wonderful family event that every kid enjoys.Not only do you get to experience the many different hands-on activities, but our kids throughout the Rogue Valley come out to show their talents and put on shows for you on the Britt Stage .
An amazing group of volunteers comes together to put this on for Our Children every year, giving the kids a ton of fun and the parents hardly a dent in the pocket book. When we first arrived in Medford Oregon in 2004, one of the founding members of the Jacksonville Children’s Festival, Susie Truscott, told us about this great opportunity for our 7 year old to enjoy which we did for several years, both as participants and later as a volunteers in the face painting booth and part of the Queen’s Court.
If you are looking for a fabulous Summertime Event sponsored by the Storytelling Guild to take your children to, bring them out to the Britt to enjoy over 30 different hands on science, arts and crafts, including face painting, beading, nature crafts and so much more… all for only $2.00 each person!!!!
The festival runs a total of 4 general sessions over a 3 day period:
Sunday July 10th – Session #1: 5:30-8:30pm
Monday July 11th – Session #2: 9am until noon and Session #3: 6:00-8:30pm
Tuesday July 12th – Session #4: 9am until noon
