The festival is aimed at younger children, ages 8 and under, and will feature music, sack races, a petting zoo, a clown, country fair games, children's crafts, face painting and a "down home" bake sale.

The festival will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. in the center's Lab School play yard at 18330 Halsted St. in Northridge. Admission is $5 for adults and children are free.

The school and the center are part of Cal State Northridge's Department of Family and Consumer Sciences and are dedicated to fostering a partnership with each child's family. The school also serves as a learning environment for CSUN students interested in working with children.
