Children's Festival Saturday at Gwinnett Place

Gather the family together and come to Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth for a fun-filled afternoon at the Children’s Festival from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 7. Festival attendees will be able to sample food from Mega Mart and enjoy performances by the Taiwanese School of Atlanta Drum Team and Tiger Martial Arts Karate. 

There will also be fashion shows featuring stylish looks for kids from Happy Land and Gymboree. A balloon artist will create interesting shapes out of balloons for children. Other games and activities are also planned.

Admission to the festival is free. Children’s Day is celebrated on different days throughout the year in countries across the globe, and is celebrated in many Asian nations, including South Korea and Japan, each year, according to a mall announcement. The day is traditionally spent with family.

During the festival Mega Mart is hosting a cake decorating station. For $5, kids and parents can decorate a personal-sized cake. Flippity Doo Da will offer their flip books for only $5. Participants can capture memories from the day in a special photo collection ideal for a Mother’s Day gift.

Also on Saturday, May 7, Gwinnett Place’s Simon Kidgits Club will present the sixth annual Kidgits Face of Gwinnett Place contest, the mall announced. Kidgits Face of Gwinnett is a model search contest for three children to participate in activities and serve as mall ambassadors throughout the year. 

Pictures of the winners will be placed on display at Simon Guest Services and at Simon Kidgits events. The Face of Gwinnett contest will take place on the mall’s lower level in front of Mega Mart. Registration and interviews are scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m.
