Kids Activities at Gathering on the Green

There will be pony rides, a petting zoo, pop-a-shot basketball, airbrush tattoos, balloon artist, laser tag, face painting, a mega slide, rock climbing wall, and two bounce houses, so all different age groups are sure to have a great time. Please note that the majority of the kids activities will be from 4-8pm, with the mega slide, rock climbing wall, pop-a-shot, belly bouncers, and bounce houses extended until 9pm.

All of the activities and attractions for kids are included in the wristband price of $15 per child ($5 for children 3 and under). You can buy discounted wristbands in advance for the price of $12 per child (ages 4 years old and up) and $5 for children 3 and under until Tuesday, June 13 at 5pm! Not only do you receive a discounted price, you can avoid the wristband line at the festival.

Then pick up your advance sale wristbands at Colonial Barber Shoppe in Western Springs at your convenience on Wednesday or Thursday between 10am-5pm the week of the event. If you are not able to pick up your tickets during that time, stop by the volunteer tent the day of the event.
