We hope this gives you some inspiration for fun over these last few weeks of summer. Here’s one more idea: Kids Fest is back with a fun new theme, plus it’s all FREE! On July 24, families are encouraged to go on a “Kids Fest Adventure Tour” to discover new attractions and businesses and have fun together at our vendor and sponsor locations. Pick up your Adventure Tour map at one of five starting locations around the metro from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., and post all the fun on Instagram using the hashtag #kidsfest2021 AND tag @metrofamilyokc for your chance to win one of the 15 prizes!
