Arts in the Parks

arts in the parks

Arts in the Parks is a FREE family fun alternative to Wednesday and Saturday morning cartoons and video games. It entertains children; teaches them the importance of protecting our natural resources; introduces them to live entertainment in an informal, kid friendly atmosphere; and forges a connection between kids and parks.

For most children, Arts in the Parks is their first exposure to live entertainment. Many young audience members even get the chance to join professionals on stage, creating lasting memories tied to their local community. With an expanded series this year, ARTS IN THE PARKS continues to be a summer tradition for Fairfax County families.
