Theres plenty to do for the entire family. Kids and teens can visit the Kids Corner & Teen Scene and partake in face painting, hair wraps, arts & crafts, dancing with life-sized puppets, trips to the BioBus, photo booth, take a ride on the 85 foot high Ferris wheel or jam on professional equipment with musicans from the Green Vibes and Main stages at the School of Rock Stage.
