Come see the newly created Kid City!

YMCA Kid City

A fun filled, interactive learning experience within the Fremont Festival of the Arts on August 2 and 3 where kids and their families can play together while being engaged in a variety of activities focusing on citizenship development and healthy lifestyles. Children will have the opportunity to become citizens of Kid City by visiting various sites and completing specific learning tasks and games.

The Mayor and City Council of Kid City (all 5th grade contest winners) are planned to open Kid City with a ribbon cutting on Saturday at 10:00am. The event features family entertainment on stage throughout the day, which includes games, prizes and chances to win one of two custom built backyard playhouses donated by local builders.

Visitors can learn how to make wise money choices at the Kid City Bank, the importance of literacy at the Kid City Library, how to stay healthy at the Kid City health center, and about the importance of taking care of our environment at the Kid City central park. Activities also include mural painting , campfire singing, pinewood derby car racing, basketball and running relays, and more. A storyteller, face painter and other Kid City “officials” also will participate to create a lively and fun event for young citizen visitors and their families. We can’t wait to see you at YMCA Kid City!
