We are pumped that Fun Fun Fun Fest will soon be taking over Auditorium Shores on Friday, Nov. 6 – Sunday, Nov. 8 for three full days of incredible music and comedy shows featuring Jane’s Addiction, Wu-Tang Clan, Chvrches, Lauryn Hill and so many more amazing artists. And this year, for the first time ever, we are SO EXCITED to be partnering with FFFfest to bring you and the kids Do512 Family’s Fun Lab!
Scroll below to enter to win a pair of 3-day passes!
Families can now kick back and party in their very own section of the festival dedicated to kids! From 12 – 8 p.m. each day of the Fest, you can join us for a TON of free hands-on science and art activities such as building frankentoys, making stop motion animation, doing mad science experiments, 3D printing and a whole lot more science-focused awesomeness. Do acro yoga, get temporary tattoos and join the silent disco! Seriously, this is going to be so rad.
Kids under age 10 are FREE with a paid adult, and now that you have a dedicated place for families to hang during FFFFest, there’s really no reason to leave your little rockers at home with a sitter.
