Attention Kids: Welcome to Loompaland

Loompaland Alley (Irvin Avenue) is a street for children where you'll find interactive and fun-filled activities to nurture an interest in reading. At the Bookmark Station, the youngest crafters (below the age of 5) can use crayons and stickers. Older children can draw with a stylist on scratchboard or use scissors and punches to create a cut paper bookmark. All are invited to design a bookmark in the shape of a house. The roof slips over the page and holds your place! And there will be lots more opportunities for kids to have fun. All crafts are free!

Cheerful festival-goers gather with friends in Loompaland.
