The Lil’ Pilgrim’s area will not only feature performances by these top children musical acts but will also have interactive activities that will include: a puppet building workshop and decorations for the Mini-Mardi Gras Parade, face-painting activity books the kids can have stamped as they complete various activities, the ever-popular Pirate Ship Play Area and more. The Frist Center for The Visual Arts in Nashville has also come on board as a partner to do a special activity in the children’s area. Kids will get to create sound bracelets that are inspired by the soundsuits of visual artist Nick Cave, who’s exhibition will be on display at the Frist Center this fall. Materials include bells, pony beads, and glow-in-the-dark elements. The wearable artworks will produce sound and glow when children dance in the final hours of the festival after sunset. And Remember: Kids 10 and under get in FREE when accompanied by an adult GA Ticket.
