Family Fun

Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the child safety check-in located at the Parks & Recreation tents to receive wristbands. This will allow staff and police to find parents or guardians quickly.
In the event of a lost child, please make contact with the nearest officer or report directly to the Parks & Recreation office located at 102 Public Square.
