On June 2nd, we will celebrate the most colorful and child-filled event of the year – Children’s Festival, themed “Safety First” this year, combining joy, entertainment, and knowledge. In the morning, several hundred Ventspils children, along with their parents and teachers, will march from Lielais Square to the main event location – Children’s Town, where various surprises, educational programs, and entertainment activities for the whole family await.
At 10:00 AM, preparations for the march will begin in Lielais Square, with a performance by the National Guard Orchestra. At 10:30 AM, the festival participants will march together to Children’s Town. During the march, from 10:20 AM to 11:10 AM, drivers should expect traffic restrictions on Lielais Prospect and adjacent streets from Ganību Street to Vasarnīču Street.
After the march, participants will be greeted by the show “Transformers: Bumblebee 2024” in Children’s Town. Until 1 PM, there will be a concert featuring children’s groups on stage. After the concert, everyone who wants to party is invited to join in games with Marshall and Chase. Throughout the event, there will be more than 20 different creative workshops and activities to participate in. “Greentrials” mini BMX and drift karts will thrill adrenaline enthusiasts, the girls of “Endless Sensation Stories” will creatively entertain the youngest visitors, while “Steampunk” will demonstrate real metal armor and invite everyone to a paper armor-making workshop. Various creative points organized by Ventspils municipal institutions will also be waiting for participation.
For the curious, there will be an opportunity to meet representatives from various state services, such as the State Fire and Rescue Service, the National Guard, the Youth Guard, and customs. Visitors can also get acquainted with student companies and purchase their products. Forest defender Pigman will also be visiting, reminding everyone of an eco-friendly lifestyle.
In the afternoon at 3 PM, in the children’s park “Fantasy,” there will be a family theater performance “How to Become a Superhero?” offered by director Armands Ekštets’ “Theater and ME.”
