The Children's Park is an area within the Chain of Parks Art Festival that provides opportunities for community connections to an estimated 35-40,000+ enthusiastic visitors! The purpose of this area is to provide a fun place to get children excited about art and promote organizations that celebrate the arts and local heritage in our community. This area is comprised of Pop-Up Art Studios, Interactive Art Vendors, Heritage Booths, and the historical Jacques Le Moyne Encampment with live reenactments! The Children's Park is a shady area for families to rest, get creative, enjoy snack foods, sing along to live entertainment, experiment with chalk art, and more!
Over the last few years, visitors have been able to interact with the festival's namesake, Jacques Le Moyne, the first known European artist to sketch native Florida, in a 1560s living history encampment featuring actor interpretations and activities by Theater With A Mission. We have expanded this educational offering to include other local heritage groups to tell their story!
What is a Local Heritage Booth? 
  • Located next to the Pop-up Studios (where organizations provide a children’s art activity and visually engaging booth), we have added several 10x10 white tents that are dedicated to sharing historical information about our region from different cultures.
  • In celebration of Tallahassee's Bicentennial, we are primarily interested in featuring local and regional heritage. We want visitors to learn about the history of our beautiful city, so we are primarily looking for applications that relate to different cultures within our community.
  • Each tent should be decorated to represent your culture, offer educational materials, and an interactive activity of some kind.
  • You do not pay to participate so that you can provide staffing, decorations, and supplies.
  • You are allowed to promote your organization through interactions with the kids and their families, free handouts, and branded decor.
Your participation in the Festival provides the following benefits:
  • Outreach opportunities to an estimated 35-40,000+ visitors interested in art
  • Listing in the Festival Program distributed to hotels, sponsors, and at the festival
