The Grand Kids Festival returns for its 29th year, bringing a treasure trove of excitement to Postoffice Street between 20th and 23rd Streets. This year, we embark on a high-seas adventure with a Pirate theme, setting our sights on the rich connections between Art and History. Admission is free!

Join us as we navigate the past, uncovering the stories, artistry, and traditions that have shaped seafaring legends and coastal culture. Recognized as one of the Gulf Coast’s premier family events, the festival offers an unforgettable experience with live entertainment on indoor and outdoor stages, over 40 interactive activity booths, and hands-on exhibits that bring history and creativity to life.

Gather your crew, don your best pirate gear, and prepare to explore, create, and discover at this extraordinary celebration of art and history!
