Things to love about Midsommarfest 2013: FREE family fun

Everyone knows that Midsommarfest is a great place to have a cold beer and listen to great music, but there is also LOTS for families with kids to do during the day, thanks to the Family Fun Area, sponsored by Alamo Shoes.

Open from 11:00am-5:00pm on Saturday and Sunday, the Family Fun Area will feature:

• Scale the always-popular inflatable climbing wall 
• Get in the fast lane with our 22' inflatable slide
• Crafts and theatre games with Dream Big Performing Arts
• Face painting by College Nannies & Tutors
• Chicago's Bicycling Ambassadors
• Crafts and games with an international flair exploring other cultures with Little Linguists Academy (Saturday only)  
• Activities with Design Dance (Sunday only)
• Toys Et Cetera featuring craft activities, in addition to their kid's talent show!      

As always, ALL activities in the Family Fun Area are FREE! And, don't forget, admission to the festival for kids 12 and under is also FREE.

In addition to the Family Fun Area, the Summerdale Stage (at Clark and Summerdale) features a great line-up of entertainment that kids of all ages are sure to love! The Summerdale Stage is sponsored by Lake Shore Schools.
