“La Petite” French Festival
Have a talent? Share it with us!
Street markets and vendors, as well as Buskers and street performers, are often seen on the streets of France!
This event will be a great opportunity to show off your skills or your craft and earn some money as if you are on the streets of Paris! Kid vendors and performers are encouraged to dress the part in berets, striped shirts, or other French themed attire!
All levels of talent will be welcomed and accepted!! “Kidpreneurs” and “buskers” must be under 18 years old. Must have parent/guardian consent to participate, and those under twelve must have parent/guardian supervision and assistance during the event, although the child should be handling the majority of their sale independently.
