St. Paddy’s Kids Festival

Shipgarten 7581 Colshire Dr, McLean, VA

To round out the weekend of festivities we have our Kids Festival on March 19th from 1-6pm hosted by Merida, Darth Vader & Princess Tiana! Character performances will start around 3:15pm and you will certainly 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 craft 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 let loose 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! var exampleCallback = function() { console.log('Order complete!'); }; window.EBWidgets.createWidget({ // Required widgetType: 'checkout', eventId: '547900524217', iframeContainerId: 'eventbrite-widget-container-547900524217', // Optional iframeContainerHeight: 425, // Widget height in pixels.
