KidFest is a day of big fun for little humans.
Join us at Laurel Bay on March 28 for this FREE, family-friendly event open to the public. Kids can enjoy face painting, snow cones, games, bounce houses, crafts, carnival rides, and plenty of surprises throughout the day.
Hosted by MCAS Beaufort and MCCS, KidFest brings together military families and the local community to kick off the Month of the Military Child and Child Abuse Prevention Month. This special event launches a month dedicated to honoring our children, strengthening families, and raising awareness — all through a day filled with laughter, creativity, and unforgettable memories.
Bring the whole family and come ready for fun!
