A festival built for families of every shape and size. In a land not so far away, James & Ethel Gray Park turns into a bright and playful world where food, music and magic live around every corner.

From the team behind the Luxurious Marble Circus, this new fest brings together creative play zones, comfy resting spots, good food and plenty for little ones, big kids and grown-ups to enjoy together. Tiny tots can explore, curious teens can roam, and parents and grandparents can relax, sip something nice, and share a laugh.

It’s a well-planned, easygoing festival that invites families to slow down, have fun, and make happy memories. A place to wander, try new things, and enjoy time with the people you love. Come one and come all, and enjoy a day filled with simple fun and childlike charm at the Magical Marble Family Fest.
