A signature Aquafest Sunday tradition — a whole afternoon of hands-on activities, games, and entertainment for kids and families.
Designed as a low-pressure, drop-in experience (no registration needed for most activities). Kid-focused, teens welcome. Free entry!
July 12, 2026
North Cove Park grass area
No entry fee
Who it’s for: Kid-focused, but teens are welcome! All activities are family friendly.
Registration: Most activities are drop-in — just show up. The Sahara Pizza Eating Contest is the only one requiring advance sign-up due to limited spots.
Chair: Susan Reich
Interactive, hands-on, and free. Stop by any activity at any time during the event.
Kids dig through a giant pile of hay hunting for coins, candy, and prizes.
Sponsored by the Frank McDaniel Memorial Foundation
Three age divisions (4–6, 7–9, 10–12). Kids get 2 minutes to eat as much of their slice as possible — speed, not volume.
A classic bounce house for burning off that festival energy.
Become a butterfly, superhero, tiger, or whatever your imagination cooks up.
Design and decorate a bookmark to take home.
Splash, scoop, and play at the hands-on water station.
Frost and decorate your own cookie masterpiece (and eat it, too).
Limited to 60 participants total across three age divisions (4–6, 7–9, 10–12) — two competitions per division, 10 kids each. Sign up online to reserve a spot.
