Children's Fest Application

Time to get ready for summer! You won't want to miss getting YOUR COMPANY NAME noticed at one of our most popular events at the incredible Three Rivers Festival Children's Fest presented by PNC at the IPFW Campus.  Plan now to be part of the excitement!

Families love this totally free event, offering a wide variety of entertainment for the children, with an emphasis on education and hands-on activities.  Last year, over 20,000 kids, moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas came out for the 2-day event to enjoy the fun provided at over 50 booths.  While the kids are playing a game, getting their faces painted, making a craft or enjoying whatever activity your booth will offer, your company's name is being noticed by the grownups!

Don't miss this amazing opportunity to demonstrate your company's community involvement while communicating your company's message.  Remember, there is no selling at this event.

Mark your calendar for Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20 and be part of the best Three Rivers Festival Children's Fest yet!
