Starbelly Jam is a great festival for the entire family, with plenty of child-friendly fun things for kids to do, and some great knee-high entertainment too.
Our covered craft free-for-all zone is fully stocked with a wide assortment of do-dads and crazy odds and ends that are just begging to be transformed into festive hats and other wearable decorations.
Magic abounds around the grounds, with jugglers juggling and all sorts of clowning around. Our Starbelly Parade is always a big hit with kids, both young and old, as the procession marches, or should I say dances around the grounds to its own music, singing and laughing
Starbelly Jam is held in the Crawford Bay Park, so we have swings, slides, teeter-totters and more for the fun and enjoyment of our youngest guests. The park has lots of room so there's plenty of space to toss balls or frisbees, or just to run around with abandon, and when the weather's hot we have a big sprinkler to play around and cool down with.
Parents: children 12 and under and accompanied by an adult get in free of charge!
Entertainment for Kids of all Ages
Major Conrad Flapps is a dashing, leather helmeted,
grinning aviator, complete with red nose and 8 foot long
flying scarf. Flapps’ only problem seems to be getting
airborne, and that’s where the outrageous fun begins
as he enlists audience members as his flight crew on
stage. Blending acrobatic comedy, musical parody and
zany wit, Flapps “takes off” on the fiddle with Sit-down
Square Dances for the entire audience, Maritime Jigs,
Cracker Waltzes, Celtic Madness and a Blues Band
that is guaranteed to bring down the house! It all adds
up to “splendid family entertainment”. (CBC). What do
audiences in Africa, New Zealand, Scotland, U.S.A.,
Switzerland and Canada have in common? They have
ALL laughed ‘til they cried at the hilarious antics of Major
Conrad Flapps, “Airman Extraordinaire”, and the world’s
only human airplane! Major Flapps has appeared as a
guest performer on television’s Hann Show and The El-
ephant Show. Conrad Flapps entertained us at Starbelly
2001, and is one of our favorite children’s performers.
We welcome him back for another bout of sillyness.
