If you haven't made it out to this awesome festival in the past, be sure and mark your calendar.  Kids Euro Festival is a two week long festival of European arts and culture that presents more than 80 free activities to metro-area families.  The festival events include performances, concerts, workshops, movies, storytelling, puppetry, dance, magic and cinema.

The event is designed for children aged two through twelve and their families.  The festival, now in its seventh year, unites the 28 embassies of the European Union (EU) and over 20 American cultural institutions.  All of the embassies and organizations work together to transform the capital region into a Europe-inspired action-packed cultural adventure for young people and their families, with no passport required.
