Kids Area
JazzFest isn’t just for adults.
The Sanford Children’s JazzQuest will be a JazzFest hot spot for children 12 and under! JazzQuest is a fun and safe kids-only zone where children have opportunities to learn about music, play and create hands-on art projects. As a reminder we do not allow smoking in or near the kid’s area.
JazzFest is proud to again partner with the Washington Pavilion of Arts & Science as they help kids with make and take mini-skateboards, art projects and beaded activities.
