THE GRAND 1894 OPERA HOUSE: The Grand Kids Festival

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT!

Six entertainment areas await you at THE GRAND KIDS FESTIVAL! Professional family entertainers, student dance groups, musicians, bands, gymnasts and more fill the stages. An artisans tent will introduce you to the wonders of handcrafting – quilting, wood-turning and working with clay. Take in a show by puppeteer Don Harms and his marionettes or relax in our storytelling tent for a good yarn by Shelly Tucker. Join the Tipi-tellers in our giant tipi and learn about native Americans. And don’t miss a showing of Missoula Children’s Theatre’s production of “King Arthur’s Quest,” starring local students from the Galveston / Houston area.

We are currently scheduling entertainment for 2011, so please check back for entertainment details.
