Kaustinen for kids
Photo by Krista Järvelä
Children in Kaustinen includes the Children's Tent, which is full of activities every day, and the Children's Play Tent, which is located under the Children's Tent. Both tents have programmes for children of all ages, and the Children's Kaustinen also caters for adults, both mums and grandmas. For the last hour of each day, anyone can sign up to perform when the stage is free.
You can participate in the activities in the Play Tent and Children's Tent together with an adult, but children are also welcome to come on their own, under the responsibility of their own adult.
When you arrive at the festival, check out the Wooden Tent as a meeting point. If a child is lost in their own adult or vice versa, head straight for this tent. If you wish, you can ask for a contact information sticker to be attached to your clothing in the Tree Tent.
