Some background on the Boneyard Arts Festival, according to its website: Presented every spring by 40 North, the Boneyard Arts Festival is a three-day event showcasing the broad range of creative activity flourishing in our community. Its goal is to bring together local artists, businesses and organizations for a special event showcasing the art of Champaign County. You can learn all about the Boneyard Arts Festival on the website here, or visit the festival Facebook page.
The vast majority of Boneyard Festival Events are family-friendly. But as we all know, some are more family-friendly than others; some you will find on the chambanamoms.com events calendar, and others you won’t.
These venues listed below have live performances or interactive events to keep your kiddos occupied.
A few exceptions: venues displaying local children’s artwork, because who doesn’t want to see their friends’ artwork? Best of all, they are ALL FREE (of course artwork will be available for purchase everywhere, so be prepared).
