Cultural Fest Overview of the stage and festival area

Children's Corner | 3:00 - 7:00 PM

Sponsored by:

Hosted by the Dauphin County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services and the Department of Children and Youth Services, the Children’s Corner runs from 3 PM to 7 PM with a focus on healthy outdoor activities and the spirit of teamwork for children ages 2 through 12.

The theme of this year’s Children’s Corner is Stop. Collaborate. And Listen.

This phrase is more than reinvigorating a 90s hit. As a community, we often find ourselves moving about our own tasks and goals without stopping to listen to what others have to offer and working together. This area will remind us to stop our usual routines, collaborate with one another, and listen to the experiences and expertise others have to offer.
