Children’s Festival

The Carnival is a family oriented festival. The size of its site and audience makes it an extremely manageable and safe environment for children and their parents as well as the provision of a rich, weekend long children’s festival.
We avoid the “plastic fantastic”, preferring to offer children the same diverse traditions as the Carnival and there is also circus, puppets, mosaic and lantern making activities as part of the program. All children 12yrs and under are free for the Carnival and camping.
