The 2011 Tahoe Family Festival, benefiting KidZone Museum, a nonprofit children’s museum, is an event full of activities for families looking to play, discover, explore and have fun.

This year’s Family Festival is Aug. 28 from noon-6pm at the Truckee Regional Park. There will be live music, food, cycling, face painting and more. Kids are free. Adults are $5.

In two years the event has raised more than $16,000 for programs at the museum such as free bus service for 30 to 50 families from Kings Beach and Truckee to visit the museum and participate in science and art through the museum’s nationally recognized program KidsReach.
