Family Fun Festival

The Family Fun Festival returns to Millennium Park this summer, making the Park the
place to be for kids of all ages. Every day, from June 10 through September 4 between
10 a.m. and 3 p.m., family performances and hands-on activities will take place in the
Family Fun Tent, located on the Park’s Chase Promenade North. Special Events include SHELebration: A Tribute to Shel Silverstein on July 13, A China Spectacle July 19 and Robbert Bobbert & the Bubble Machine on Aug. 31

Activities in the Family Fun tent every day include Wiggleworms at 10 a.m., when
instructors from the Old Town School of Folk Music lead activities for very young
children, such as singing, finger games, circle dances and play with rhythmic
instruments. The Reading Circle follows at 11 a.m., and concerts by some of the most
notable names in local and regional entertainment will take place at 1:00 and 1:45 p.m.
Throughout the day, the Family Fun tent’s Activity Zone will include hands-on craft
projects and garden, science and environmental activities led by some of the region’s
popular museums and cultural institutions.

The Family Fun Festival is sponsored by Target and presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural
Affairs.
