KIDS FEST, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2026!
MAC is proud to present Kids Fest 2026, the annual MAC event for kids, on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 10am to 1pm!
This year, Kids Fest will be the feature event for Manalapan’s celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary. As in prior years, Kids Fest will feature entertainment and displays by local businesses as Sponsors of the event. We are now accepting applications for Sponsors. Please click here for a sponsorship application.
Sponsors will be provided with a table to display their products and services on the Great Lawn (Field M). As a Sponsor, your company’s name will be featured in social media advertisements as a Sponsor, press releases, and a sponsor sign at the event. Sponsors will also be announced by the Emcee during the event. Sponsors are not permitted to sell items/services at the event.
On April 18th, Sponsor tables must be set up by 9:45am and can remain until 1:00pm. In previous years, Sponsors brought giveaways (such as stickers, coupons, and sunglasses with their logo) and/or activities for kids (such as an art project, games, mascots, kids characters, bounce house and face painter). Giveaways and activities are optional, but if you plan to have a giveaway or activity at your table, please provide this information on the application for Township approval.
This year the theme of Kids Fest will be “America’s Birthday Bash.” Kids Fest will celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary, with a focus on Manalapan’s role in the Revolutionary War. The broad theme can also include celebratory elements of a birthday party. While not required, the theme can be utilized in your table decoration, giveaway or activity.
Manalapan businesses will get first preference at Sponsorship space before it is open to outside businesses. Kids Fest Sponsorships are $95. Sponsorship will be limited for this event. Kids Fest is a great marketing opportunity for companies with products or services focused on kids and families. We hope to have your support as a Sponsor.
Finally, please note the event will have a rain date of April 25, 2026. You may contact the Township by calling 732-446-8308 or e-mail at info@mtnj.org with any questions.
The Manalapan Township Arts Council Thanks You for Your Support!
