STOP BY THE KIDS CORNER
We love having children at our festival! Since we have been around for 30 years, many of the children that have attended now come back as adults. We strive to create an atmosphere where families can feel welcomed, and feel like they have a safe and fun experience. We understand that parents are music lovers too and it’s tough to get to a concert with little ones at home. Hot August is a place where adults and children of all ages can enjoy the day together, creating valuable family experiences. We allow any child under 12 years of age FREE admission and provide some great activities for them during the day also.
HERE ARE SOME ITEMS YOU CAN BRING TO KEEP THE FAMILY FUN GOING!
Games, balls, frisbees, bubbles, hula hoop, beach balls.
