The Lake Huron Children’s Festival Committee and the Port Elgin & District Lion’s Club presents the second annual Lake Huron Children’s Festival. The Plex in Port Elgin will play host to the event on July 9 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m

The Festival will include a concert by renowned children’s performers Splash'N Boots beginning at 10 a.m.

Tickets for the performance include admission to the Festival and are $25 each. Children under 12 months are free.

All funds raised by the Festival will be in support of a Splash Pad in Saugeen Shores.

Tickets are selling fast so don’t miss out on your chance to attend this event and support the Splash Pad Project.

“Last year at the Lake Huron Children’s Festival, we had over 1,000 attendees and raised $15,000 towards the Splash Pad Project,” said Amy Shute, Lake Huron Children’s Festival Committee Chair. “We are hoping to match that again this year.”

The Committee hopes to have all the necessary funds for the Splash Pad to break ground in 2017.

The doors for the concert will open at 9:30 a.m. with all festival activities beginning at 11 a.m. and running until 1 p.m.

Activities include: Exotic Petting Zoo, Bouncy Wonderland, Face Painting, Characters, Cash Barbecue by the Port Elgin & District Lion’s Club, Free Popcorn and Cotton Candy; and more.
