The Storytelling Guild Presents Their 50th Annual Children’s Festival at The Britt Grounds in Jacksonville – July 9-11, 2016. Calling all kids, ages 1 to 100! Sponsored by the Storytelling Guild of Jackson County, this innovative 3 day event will take place Britt Gardens in Jacksonville and will bring out the creativity of both the young and young at heart as it has for generations.

This “just for kids” event has served as an affordable summertime experience in the Rogue Valley for generations. Admission to the Children’s Festival is a very low $3.00 per person. Children can enjoy hours of entertainment with many imagination-themed activities. There are over 35 hands-on art, craft, science projects, and of co...urse, the daily feeding of the litter-eating dragons, Rosabelle and Pebbles! Older children will enjoy candle making, pottery and wood working, while younger children will have a chance to make their own puppet, sand and easel art, and have faces painted. The whole family can also look forward to child-focused stage performances and yummy food from our Dragon Deli.

The Children’s Festival has 3 general sessions over a 3-day period:

Saturday, July 9 - Session 1: 4:30-8:30pm Evening
