Plans are just beginning for the San Juan Island Children’s Festival scheduled for May 6 and people willing to work as a team, committed to creating this fun-filled festival dedicated to celebrating children are needed. The Children’s Festival attracts more than 1,200 people and, in is 27th year, is a hallmark event for San Juan Island and Island Rec.

With the exception of the festival day, committee members volunteer an estimate of six to eight hours, per month, beginning in January. The committee works closely with Island Rec staff to choose the theme of the festival, secure entertainment, coordinate participation of more than 30 community organizations, recruit volunteers and promote the event. Traditionally, the committee has been comprised of mom’s of young children, but others are encouraged to be part of this long-standing successful event. If creating opportunities for children to discover, explore, create and be amused speaks to you, come speak to me.

Contact Morgan at Island Rec at 378-4953 or Morgan@islandrec.org to learn more about this opportunity.
