Event Guide - Kids Entertainment

The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce invites kids to bring their parents to the "Imagination Zone" at the 22nd annual Colorado Artfest at Castle Rock event on September 10th and 11th, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Artfest will again be held in historic downtown Castle Rock at the Castle Rock Town Hall and P. S. Miller Library parking lots.

One of the favorite features of Artfest is the children’s area, known as the "Imagination Zone," which features art projects and storytelling for kids of all ages to enjoy. This area continues to grow and bring new, interactive art ideas for the future collector.

Nearby, non-profits groups such as Front Range Theater Company, The Wildlife Experience, Castle View High School, Castle Rock Senior Center, Douglas County Partners Mentoring Program, and The Women's Crisis and Family Outreach Center will have special offerings for children.

In addition to these activities, there will be strolling entertainment just for kids, including the Guffaw Family Circus (Manitou Arts Theater), Grupo Tlaloc Danza Azteca (Saturday only), Stretch the 9 Ft. Clown, Theater of Dreams Presents! and the ever popular Bruiser the Ragdog (Saturday only.)

Best of all, admission to Artfest is FREE for children 12 and under! Artfest is the largest arts event in Douglas County and a prestigious mark of distinction for Castle Rock.
