The Boneyard Arts Festival is returning to Champaign-Urbana this spring and we have a list of family-friendly events
The Boneyard Arts Festival is a unique festival in that related events are spread out across a multitude of venues throughout Champaign County. Finding related arts events throughout this fun spring weekend is even easier with the list we have put together rounding up all of the ones that have been submitted to us. Have a Boneyard Arts Festival event you’d like included here? Submit it to our event calendar now.
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).
