Since 1998, Living Folklore has been making the Telluride Bluegrass weekend just as fun for children as it is for adults. The kids area offers a magical refuge for the whole family with kids yoga, storytelling, crafts, interactive performances with live characters, and processions. With this year’s theme of Alice in Candyland, Living Folklore will be bringing elements from Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland to life with giant puppets and a life-size children’s board game. The whole weekend builds toward the Sunday parade as we learn juggling, clown-yoga, listen to stories, sing along to live music, and more. Come play with us and experience the magic of The Family Tent!

Juggling Anyone? Join juggling veteran Lauri Watson in the Jugglers’ Grove for lessons and free juggling balls — for new and experienced jugglers.

On Saturday and Sunday, come join Betty Hoops once again for the best craft party of the summer. Kids and adults can decorate their own hoop using fuzzy fabrics, rainbow colored tapes, and 3D stickers. Adult hoopers can experience the newest and only collapsible hoop on the market. The Gaiam Hoop is a top of the line six segment collapsible hoop with a soft foam padding. Betty Hoops will have many for you to try and will be teaching Hoop Dance Saturday and Sunday!
