The Flurry is a family-friendly festival, with programming for kids and teens running throughout the weekend. A special feature of the Flurry community is its intergenerational nature, with participants of all ages coming together for music and dance. Many current attendees have grown up at the Flurry, and now bring their own children to experience this magical event every year. From family dances, stories and concerts, to movement, singing, and instrumental workshops, to teen showcases, jams, and social activities, there are fun and inspiring activities for Flurrygoers of every age! Family programming continues on Sunday, at the Saratoga Springs City Center. Families attending the library program on Saturday will be offered a special discount on Sunday tickets, and children 12 and under are free to the festival all weekend!
