Family Street Festival / Kaleidoscope
A temporary event tile for festival days, pop-up play dates, and special activities.
Look through, spin around, and name every color you can see.
Kaleidoscope is a free family festival and block party held each April to celebrate Week of the Young Child and raise awareness of Child Abuse Prevention Month.
The first festival was held in 2023, and Kaleidoscope earned “Best Festival” in the 2025 Stillwater NewsPress Best of Stillwater awards.
