KidsFest San Diego is a special event designed to foster the imagination of young children.
We are NOT a trade show, expo or fair. Although trade shows, expos and fairs can be good;
our goal is to be a unique event that inspires creativity. Therefore we will only be accepting
those who fit our mission best. Your activity plays an important role in the decision making
process. Each booth is required to have an interactive, free activity that engages children
ages 2-10 years old. Please describe your booth activity in detail below. Keep in mind that
KidsFest San Diego reserves the right to accept only those exhibitors that incorporate
activities deemed suitable for this event. Please see the Activity List included as a guide for
your activity.
