Merida, Darth Vader & Princess Tiana Host St. Patrick’s Family Festival

DAY 3 of our 3 day weekend festival is dedicated to our family’s with kids! Our St. Paddy’s Kids Festival will be hosted by Merida, Darth Vader & Princess Tiana! You’ll recognize Merida by her flaming red hair and Scottish accent. Merida will also be performing a bow demonstration for the kids and they can even release a suction cup, ended arrow into the sky! Tell your little ones that there is a pot of gold hidden somewhere on our venue and if they find it, they get a special prize. There will also be a scavenger hunt for them to enjoy and if they complete it they will get a gift bag. We will have a crafts table on site for them to make some fun Irish art or they can get a four leaf clover painted on their face at our face painting table. Let them run free in our two moon bounces or watch them climb to new heights on our jungle gym. If your dog is your child, no worries there! Our whole venue is dog friendly and we even have a fenced in dog park for them to play in. If you’re looking for a fun, family friendly place to celebrate St. Paddy’s, Shipgarten is your spot!
