Family Area
During the Montana Folk Festival, special attention is given to providing engaging educational hands-on activities for children and youth. The Family Area will be packed with interactive activities for children of all ages. Volunteers, educators and artists will be on hand to guide children through a variety of activities that promise to be as much fun as they are educational. The area will also feature tall trees and a shade area for rest.
The Family Area for children and their parents will be coordinated by the Clark Fork Watershed Education Project (CFWEP).
This is not a daycare or drop-off area. Parents must stay and participate with their children.
