6th Annual Downtown KidsPalooza
The El Paso Symphony Orchestra and El Paso Children's Hospital are pleased to present the 6th Annual Downtown KidsPalooza scheduled for Saturday, March 16, 2013 from 10:30am to 5:00pm. Downtown KidsPalooza is an all-day family event organized by the El Paso Symphony Orchestra with the support of our FAMILY FUN PARNTERS. Downtown area arts organizations join forces to present a day of fun for families with free transportation to a variety of stops throughout the downtown area.
This year's event will kick-off with the Epilepsy Foundation annual 1-mile stroll at Cleveland Square Park. Walkaround Elmo from Sesame Street will make a special appearance at Arts Festival Plaza. The El Paso Symphony will present two concerts (12pm & 2pm) of "The Enchanted Forest" at the Plaza Theatre. Entertainment and fun activities are scheduled all over the downtown El Paso Arts District from Cleveland Square Park to the Union Depot. Over 80% of the events are free of charge and all other events charge a minimal fee no more than $5. Nowhere in El Paso can children experience so many various and rich programming in an all-day event involving all of the downtown arts and cultural organizations. Children are engaged at each venue with programming created especially for them and their families. (See attached schedule for all the details.) In addition, the El Paso Symphony is working with Fort Bliss to bring in families and their children and working with the USO to bring in Wounded Warriors and their families to the event. The goal is to provide free concert tickets to these families.
