Here at Do512 Family, we love a good kid-friendly festival. We’re big fans of live music, crafts, face painting, puppet shows, storytimes, and more! So when we heard about Squirrel Fest, an all-new event to take place in Pease Park, we jumped at the chance to get involved! Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and plan to join us for a day of movies, music and fun on April 9 from 4 – 10 p.m.
Squirrel Fest, presented by H-E-B and hosted by Pease Park Conservancy, is free and open to all and promises to be a great time! In addition to having a fun day in one of Austin’s most amazing parks, your family can enjoy:
