About Kids Fair

Join us at The Monument for Youth & Family Services' (YFS) 27th Annual Kids Fair!

Taking place in the Barnett Fieldhouse, North and East Concourses, and the Rushmore Hall, we will be creating a giant playground suitable for babies to pre–teens! This year's Kids Fair will provide children in our community with a place to be active and engage in fun, hands-on activities while spending time with their families!

Kids Fair will feature past favorites such as face painting, live entertainment, inflatable attractions, a giant sand box, mini train rides, and dozens of booths brimming with hands–on activities. As always a ton of fun awaits your family!

 

Be a Part of Kids Fair!

Being a sponsor or hosting a booth at Kids Fair is a wonderful way to showcase your business while supporting kids in our community!

There are sponsorship levels to accommodate any budget and a variety of vendor spaces are available.

Volunteers are a key factor in the success of Kids Fair! They're needed to help ensure our event runs smoothly and safely. Each year, Kids Fair needs volunteers to help with:

  • Staffing attractions
  • Face painting
  • Ticket sales
  • Taking tickets
  • Mini train rides
  • Line control
  • Monitoring doors
  • And more!
  • Volunteers only need to be 13 years of age or older, and we have opportunities to fit different talents, abilities, and interests.
