Parkadilly at Lake Sammamish kids’ concert, fair and fun is coming to Lake Sammamish State Park, noon-5 p.m., Sunday, July 24. The event is free.
The inaugural year of Parkadilly features three of the Northwest’s favorite children’s entertainers. Recess Monkey is three school teachers who become rockers when they hit the stage. A little salsa, swing, samba and hip hop gets the crowd on their feet with Eli Rosenblatt. And Mikey Mike, the “rad scientist,” sings fun songs about geology and nature.
Guest host Chris Cashman will emcee.
Also on stage will be Rhythms of India dancers teaching the crowd a few Bollywood moves, followed by acapella singer Tevita Tupou teaching kids and parents how to Beat Box. The entertainment wraps up with a giant Simon Says game for all.
Parkadilly will also have arts and crafts, children’s story times, Junior Ranger programs, a nature scavenger hunt, track and field lawn games, a wilderness survival workshop for kids, the PCC Tastemobile, trampolines and more. Concessions will include grilled hot dogs by Kiwanis Club of Issaquah.
Kid-centric vendors will also be on hand, giving parents an opportunity to learn about schools, after-school activities, health care, children’s products, and local non-profits.
