Akron KidsFest is a free children’s festival designed to bring kids and families from across our community to the heart of Akron to grow, inspire and motivate young minds through Science, Technology, Engineering, Artistic, and Mathematics (STEAM) -related play.

An innovative collaboration between the Akron Children’s Museum and the City of Akron, Akron KidsFest is more than a backyard party or picnic at the park. It is human foosball, chess tournaments, dancing around the world, ninja runs, esports, art shows, slam dunks, robotics, cooking with culinary experts, and so much more.
