Rocky Mountain PBS KIDS is hosting KIDS FEST Colorado Springs at Panorama Park on Saturday, September 19, from 10 AM to 2 PM — and admission is completely free. The event brings educational activities, crafts, and PBS KIDS characters to families across the Colorado Springs area, with content that works especially well for preschoolers and early elementary-age kids.

A Big Day for Colorado Springs Families

September 19 is worth noting on the calendar for more than one reason. The Pikes Peak Regional Airshow is also running that same weekend — September 19 and 20 — at the Colorado Springs Airport. The airshow tends to appeal to older children and families with a passion for aviation, while KIDS FEST is calibrated toward a younger audience.

For families with kids spanning a wide age range, it may be worth considering both: the PBS KIDS event at Panorama Park in the morning (it wraps at 2 PM), followed by an afternoon visit to the airshow if energy allows. Or choose the event that fits your family's ages and interests and make a full day of it.

What's Next

This is a family-friendly free event worth putting on the radar now, especially for families looking for low-cost weekend options as the school year picks up pace.
