Kid-friendly movie options at this year’s festival include “Beetlejuice,” “Lil Bub & Friendz,” and “The Smurfs.” On Sunday, April 21, Downtown Youth Behind the Camera will screen shorts by local elementary and middle schoolers. The free Family Festival Street Fair on Saturday, April 27, will feature live Broadway performances, arts and crafts, story telling, kite flying, a bubble garden, puppet shows, and much more.
