Heard on the street at Athens Porchfest: “Mommm, can we go back to the KidZone? Pleeeaaase?”

With apologies to those parents who didn’t get to see much of the rest of the day’s events, we are delighted that Athens Porchfest KidZone was heavily trafficked again this year. With arts and crafts, games, bubbles, a bounce house, family care room, and live kid’s music by Sean Parsons, it was the perfect way to cement that Porchfest is truly an event for all ages. There were tons of kids that had a ton of fun.

Huge thanks to Hughes Funeral Home for hosting the Athens Porchfest KidZone again this year, and providing the bounce house and free Kona Ice of Athens for the kids. We had a great team of volunteers this year, and the Crafty Art Bus.

Special thanks to Daisy Carlson for her dedication to bringing arts & crafts, music, and books to kids in Ohio, with a focus on Appalachian Ohio. You can donate to the Crafty Art Bus nonprofit organization to support her work, here: https://linktr.ee/craftyartbus

Busking in Uptown Athens was an organized part of DORA Kickoff: Porchfest on the Bricks on Saturday May 16, 2026. This band from Columbus, Good Question String Band, came down to Athens to play, and drew a large crowd.
