Ready For Kindiefest?

Here’s a riddle for you: what
do you get when you combine Susan from Seinfeld and some Brooklyn flair? Heidi Swedberg and the Sukey Jump Band at Kindiefest! In
its third year, this melodic display is a true marriage of a few of our
favorite things: fantastic family music (like Elizabeth Mitchell & You Are
My Flower) and a great atmosphere (the festival is inside but there’s a courtyard in case of sensational sunshine). —

Don’t miss this Sunday’s
line-up (which is sure to get you jammin’). Acts include: The Verve Pipe, Tim
& The Space Cadets, Oran Etkin and Aaron Nigel Smith of PBS Kids. We even
hear that Earth’s Best will be there handing out free snacks and Loog guitars
will be debuting their new line of kid guitars. (Plus, one lucky rocker will go
home with one in tow!)

To get you excited about Kindiefest, we’ve hosting a giveaway in its honor! One family will win a family
