Children's Hands-On Art Area

The Council for the Arts of Herndon produces the Children's Hands-On-Art Area at the Herndon Festival on Saturday and Sunday. This year the location of the Childrens Hands On Art Area has changed! This area is now located near the Library, behind the Herndon Municipal Center and the HMC Stage.

The Children's Hands-On-Art Area will again be filled with lots of fun and surprises for children of all ages. Make a red,white, and blue bead craft, create your own scratcher bookmark, pipe cleaner pencils, or rubber stamped cards. Kids can get creative and try brass rubbings or linoleum block prints.  Skilled artisans will be on-site to create their work in front of your eyes!  Enjoy over a dozen unique and fun crafts for children of all ages. Children can choose to keep their creations or donate some to Operation Give.

Come and experience what wonders you can create in the Children's Hands-On-Art Area this year at the Herndon Festival and remember - it's FREE!

On Saturday from 10 am- 5 pm, free child IDs will be created.
