Children’s Day Art Park
Austin Symphony Orchestra
Wednesday mornings, June 8th through July
27th
Symphony Square
The Austin Symphony
Orchestra invites children and their parents to join in
discovering the wonder and excitement that the performing arts
can bring when they attend Children's Day Art Park, returning
from June 8th through July 27th. An Austin tradition for
more than 26 years, Wednesday mornings this June and July,
Austin Symphony transforms Symphony Square into a secret garden
of cultural delights for the youth of Austin and Central Texas
to enjoy.
During the morning
festivities, musicians of the Austin Symphony Orchestra stroll
through Symphony Square visiting with children, demonstrating
their instruments and playing their favorite tunes. Kids
can also visit the Instrument Petting Zoo to see, touch and
play real orchestral instruments.
At 10 a.m.,
performances especially geared for young children are presented
on stage by some of Austin's favorite entertainers. The
2011 schedule includes:
- June 8th: Roy Lozano’s Ballet
Folklorico
- June 15th: Beto y los Fairlanes
- June 22nd: Joe McDermott
- June 29th: Jon Emory’s Teddy Bear
Picnic (Bring Your Bear)
- July 6th: No performances

- July 20th: The Biscuit Brothers
- July 27th: Lucas Miller
After each
performance, a real Pied Piper leads the audience down the
“Lemonade Trail” to the “Magic Oak
Tree” for stories and fun in the Art Park "Big
Top." The myriad of available activities - include
face painting and craft projects - will be available in the Art
Tent.

Art Park is 50¢ a child; adults are free when accompanying
