KIDS TENT & ACTIVITIES
We’ll have more info about our planned 2024 Kid Tent offerings and special events by early July…adding them as they’re confirmed here, or you can check out our 2023 programming here. Cheers!
Hey parents! Stop by the kids tent for fun, educational activities and crafts! For parents with wee ones, it is a great place to rest in the shade. Changing table, baby potties, and feeding area will be available.
This year we’re teaming up with the KGLT Kids, Montana Outdoor Science School (MOSS), Thrive, and more to provide more fun opportunities for kids to learn.
We are fortunate again this year to partner with Tree of Life Doula who is hosting a family care tent. Are you a new mom? Come settle into this clean, cozy, and accessible area to nurse and change your baby, right next to our Kids Tent. Kelli and her team are Certified Lactation Counselors as well as doulas, so don’t hesitate to bring your feeding or newborn questions!
Please note: the kids tent is not a babysitting service. This is not a place to drop off your kiddos. There is a clear view of the main stage from the tent, so stick around and listen while your kids are learning, playing, and crafting!
In addition to our special events below, join us for these fun activities from 3pm-6pm Friday, 11am-6pm Saturday, and 11am-5pm Sunday!
Face painting, book corner, coloring, and more fun hands-on art and learning activities!
KGLT Kids Songwriting Workshop
Red Ants Pants Music Festival is partnering with KGLT Kids to facilitate a songwriting workshop. The workshop offers youth songwriters a creative space to explore the magic of melody and lyricism. This fun, community-oriented activity is focused on providing kids ages 5 to 18 with tools to write and perform original poetry and music. Each songwriter will collaborate with local and touring musicians who will help shape the music and bring their songs to life. Please register here.
Selected projects will have the choice to perform on the Red Ants Pants Music Festival side stage alongside a professional musician.
We are thrilled to bring this new offering to the cow pasture this year thanks to the efforts and heart of Brian Kallay, your favorite fiddle player from Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs, three-time performers at the Red Ants Pants Music Festival and winners of our 2015 side stage contest! Brian is now the director of KGLT Kids, a teacher in the Bozeman School District, and continues to perform with his live looping project – learn more about all the great things Brian is bringing to Montana here: briankassaymusic.com.
