This innovative 3-day event at the Britt Gardens brings out the creativity of both the young and young at heart as it has for generations. There are over 30 arts and crafts booths including; clay, face painting, science, gold panning, leather, carpentry, storytelling, and child-focused stage performances.

Our Club organizes volunteers for the set-up and tear down for this annual event in Jacksonville. 2025 marked the 59th Annual Children’s Festival in Jacksonville and we brought 22 Rotarians and 11 friends and family members to help set-up tents, assemble castles, displays and ticket booths on Saturday morning and then assist with teardown on Monday afternoon.
