North Hempstead Announces Star-Studded Lineup for 6th Annual Children’s Music Festival KidStock

North Hempstead, NY – North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board  have announced the lineup for this year’s children’s music festival, KidStock. The festival will be held on Sunday, August 21 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at North Hempstead Beach Park.  The 6th Annual KidStock is a FREE outdoor family music festival which stars nationally-acclaimed musical entertainment including Grammy-award winning artists.

 

“We are excited to once again present KidStock, the music festival for the younger generation, at North Hempstead Beach Park,” Supervisor Bosworth said.  “Our goal this year is to bring back popular performers from the past, while also introducing the festival attendees to some new musical acts. It promises to be a day of celebration, music and fun for the whole family.”

 

The lineup consists of traditional KidStock favorite Tim Kubart and the Space Cadets, as well as Alex and the Kaleidoscope, and Aaron Nigel Smith. Bach to Rock Port Washington will have hands-on and interactive opportunities for children to explore musical instruments. All the festival acts will inspire and encourage children to celebrate and learn through the power of music and creativity.
