The Children's Festival is a fun-filled program of arts and activities designed especially for children aged ten years and younger. All activities are free of charge, providing an excellent opportunity for young children to explore their creativity and engage in interactive fun. It is important to note that all children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
All of the children's festival activities are free, geared toward children under 10, and are open to the public. The projects can get a bit messy and children must be accompanied by an adult.
Come and join us for a day of creativity and excitement!
Let's hear it for the Marblehead high school student volunteers and face paint extraordinaires who are true magicians for making the festival a success every year through their community service such as painting hundreds of children's faces under the hot sun.
Epstein Hillel School
Solar Paper Sculptures:
Epstein Hillel School joins the Marblehead Festival of Arts- Children's Festival to instruct young artists in solar paper sculptures. Create an arrangement of small objects on blue cyanotype paper and watch how the sunlight captures the image. Remove the objects after a couple of minutes and submerge the paper in the water basin to make your design permanent.
North Shore Glass School
At North Shore Glass School, you can learn the ancient art of working with glass to create unique and magnificent pieces.
North Shore Glass School joins the Children’s Festival to talk about glass art and to run a tissue paper stained glass craft. Participants will be able to leave with their tissue paper sun-catcher and a better understanding of stained glass.
