What do you do in your backyard? Take adventures to faraway lands? Create masks and jewelry? Examine bugs with your magnifying glass? Or do you blow bubbles until you can’t exhale anymore? In Rooster Walk’s backyard, we do all that and more! Our goal in the Kids’ Coop is to have fun while teaching everyone (young and old) the importance of using and reusing items around the house. The Kids’ Coop offers a wide variety of constant activities throughout the weekend, including arts and crafts, open mic sessions, live music on the Kids’ Stage, the infamous kids’ parade, a ginormous slip’n’slide, a drum workshop, hula hooping workshops, face painting, a playground and so much more!
We are so glad that you’re comfortable bringing your entire family to Rooster Walk! Our festival family strives to make everything family friendly, particularly in the Kids’ Coop. Our staff is ready to help you and your young ones explore creativity through crafts, bubbles, treasure hunts and music.
With that said, we do not provide drop-off childcare to anyone. You must stay with your child at all times. Unattended children will be given espressos and puppies. (All jokes aside.. do not leave your children unattended in the Kids’ Coop or elsewhere.)
Come see why Rooster Walk and its Kids’ Coop have been nominated as one of the Best Family Friendly Festivals in the Blue Ridge!
