When is Kids’ Festival?
Kids’ Festival is a single day event that will be held Saturday, November 20, 2010 from 10 am to 4 pm. The date is significant in that it is the prelude to the Thanksgiving Holiday and has provided exceptional timing for very good attendance. On the same day in the Main Ballroom Cyberquest, a countywide technology competition for students will be held. While this is not connected with Kids’ Festival per sey, it does affects its attendence in a most positive way.
Who attends Kids Festival?
In Visalia the Kids’ Festival audience averages 5,000 over the course of a single day. Its composition is the family unit with children between the ages of 2 to 12. Many in attendance have grown up with this event and return year after year with families and children of their own.
Highlights:
Our focus is on family fun and the promotion of products and services of the Tulare County region. Kids’ Festival is eclectic with something for every member of the family. Information booths, food booths, the American Traveling Carnival and live stage entertainment are real crowd favorites. Signed up for 2009 are: Kids’ Edition Dance Troup, Mariachi Nueve Generacion, Farley’s Elite Tae Kwon Do, Sierra Performing Arts and Riata Ranch International. We will post new additions as are registered.
Value to your company:
Sponsors and exhibitors receive high visibility as part of this very larger community event. Your organization will be recognized as one which is directly linked with education and one that gives back to the community.

Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair
March 19 - March 21, 2010
Tucson, Arizona, USA |
 |
|
The Fourth Avenue Street Fair brings together 400 arts and crafts booths, 35 food vendors, 3 stages, street musicians, food, jugglers, street performers, kids entertainment, face painting, balloons, and tons of other fun activities, and then packs them into three days of celebration.
Come for the shopping: 400 booths featuring arts and crafts that cover the spectrum from fine art to country crafts. Glass, clay, wood, clothing, metal, jewelry, pre-packaged food, all hand made and on sale by the artist/craftsperson.
Come for the food: 35 food vendors selling an eclectic mix of good things to eat. Greek, Mexican, Thai, BBQ, fry bread, funnel cakes, chicken, and more.
Come for the music: 3 stages with something for everyone! Winsett Performance Center with several community performing arts groups; Main Stage South with an eclectic mix of the best of Tucson; Main Stage North with more of the best jazz bands of Tucson. In addition there will be an assortment of street performers featuring everything from Andes to violin music.
Come for the entertainment: kids areas with jumping castle and mini-train; face painting; chair massages; everything and anything you can imagine!
The Fourth Avenue Street Fair began when Fourth Avenue merchants put tables in front of their stores to attract customers before the holidays. From that beginning it has developed into one of the premier street fairs in the nation, drawing crowds of 200,000 to 400,000 and ranking as one of the top visual arts fairs in the country. The Street Fair has also developed into a Tucson tradition and an event that has an impact on every Tucsonan in one way or another. The Street Fair is the source of funding for 50+ non-profit groups that derive (in some cases the majority of) their income from the Fair, to the City which obtains a boost in sales taxes and a savings in services demanded, to the Fourth Avenue Merchants Association that earns the funds to keep Fourth Avenue a draw for all who live and visit Tucson. The two annual Street Fairs are Tucson’s biggest event!
