About the Kaleidoscope Festival

MISSION STATEMENT

The Kaleidoscope Festival is a world-class art, science and cultural experience for children and their families for the Tampa Bay area. At the festival, there will be the opportunity to have a hands on experience that will be both educational and fun.

 

HISTORY

The Kaleidoscope Festival was established in August 2002 by leaders from local Tampa Arts organizations, the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce and the Interbay Peninsula Partnership and incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2003. These interested Tampa Bay community leaders initially sought to provide an annual spring cultural event that offered hands-on educational and fun experiences for school children of Hillsborough County. The festival, held for the last 5 years in South Tampa, seeks to introduce young children to a wide range of fun and educational art, music, science and cultural experiences. The festival has been successful through local community support, as it seeks to  provide elementary and middle school aged children an opportunity they might not ever have - to explore and play musical instruments, engage in many interactive art and science activities, participate in community drum circles, and observe unique professional music and dance performances.
