Built for tiny humans 🎨

📸: Kidstock! 2025

📅 Saturday, January 18th, 2025
🕐 9:30 am – 3:30 pm
📍 Edmonds Center for the Arts: 410 4th Ave N, Edmonds
💰 Free with registration | All ages welcome

Calling all budding performers and pint-sized artists! Clear your calendar for the Seattle area’s most imaginative family festival. Kidstock! transforms the Edmonds Center for the Arts into a wonderland of creativity, packed with performances, workshops, and the kind of organized chaos that makes childhood magical.

The mainstage lineup hits all the right notes: Pegasus Puppet Theatre kicks things off with “Stellaluna” (9:45 am), followed by kid-rock heroes The Not-Its! (11 am) getting everyone dancing. The afternoon brings a cultural journey through classical Indian music with the Srivani Jade Ensemble (12:30 pm), traditional Mexican dance from Bailadores de Bronce (1:30 pm), and Korean performances by Morning Star Cultural Center (2:45 pm).

Throughout the day, kids can bounce between hands-on workshops like mural making, mime lessons, tabla drumming, and Coast Salish storytelling. The center’s gym transforms into a carnival complete with face painting, balloon animals, and—because parents need fuel too—a root beer garden.
