Clowns on stilts and unicycles, costumed superheroes, dancers and a tiny train for tots lent a carnival atmosphere to the first ever Charlotte Kids Fest at UNC Charlotte on Oct. 28.

Dozens of displays and activities to stimulate young minds attracted a crowd to the festival, organized by University City Partners and sponsored by TIAA, UCP, the university and several other businesses and community groups.

 

Thanks to our many sponsors

Making Kids Fest possible were Title Sponsor TIAA; Presenting Sponsors University City Partners and UNC Charlotte; Zone Sponsors Carolinas HealthCare System and Duke Energy; and Friends of the Festival Arts and Science Council, BlueCross BlueShield, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Chick-fil-A University Place, Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority and the YMCA.
