Kids Fest at Magic Springs
Join us on August 1 for the First Annual Kids Fest!
Kids Fest is a special day dedicated to bringing together foster families, adoptive families, and the organizations that support them for a fun-filled day at Magic Springs Theme & Water Park.
Spend the day riding roller coasters, enjoying the water park, and making lasting memories while connecting with local organizations that provide foster care, adoption, and family support services throughout our community. Whether you’re a current foster family, interested in becoming a foster parent, or simply want to learn more, Kids Fest is a great opportunity to meet local resources and ask questions in a welcoming environment.
We look forward to welcoming foster families, community partners, and guests from across Arkansas for a day of fun, connection, and support. Together, we can help raise awareness for foster care and adoption while celebrating the incredible families and organizations that make a difference every day.
