In observation of World Children’s Day Saturday, a children’s fest will take place in the “Altstadt,” or the old part of town, in Kaiserslautern.
The Kaiserslautern youth department, the children’s protection association and SOS children and youth aid will provide an entertaining program to lure children from 11:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the area between Stockhausplatz and Kaiserbrunnen, the fountain on Steinstrasse.
A musical parade with drummers marching from Martinsplatz to Stockhausplatz will start the event at 11:45 a.m. Drums and performances by the Rusty Jumpers will officially open the fest at noon. Gina Ginella, a clown, and Coolumbus, an artist, will then entertain the children. At 2 p.m., children can enjoy dancing with instructors of a local dance school. A drum workshop with Dede Mazietele will teach the “Sound of Africa” at 3:30 p.m. Members of a mobile dance school will present their skills at 4:30 p.m. An air balloon activity will end the program on Stockhausplatz.
The Theodor-Zink-Museum on Steinstrasse 48 will host musicians of the Emmerich-Smola Music School, who will present a diversified program in the yard of the museum. Steinstrasse will be the area where children can play, do handicrafts, paint, look for gems, turn the fortune wheel and jump on a bouncy castle. There will also be face painting, a barefoot path and various other activities.
Throughout the Altstadt, stands will offer culinary specialties such as würstchen, vegetarian burgers, sandwiches, quiche, cakes, waffles, crepes, muffins and pretzels.
