Parenting at a festival? Not for the faint of heart. That’s why we built Camp SmartyPants—a cozy, camp-inspired hideaway designed to keep families cool, calm, and collected.Kids get crafty with bandana bracelets and exclusive festival swag, while parents kick back on a shady seat and a lifeline of essentials at the Camp Concierge (think wipes, SPF, and peace of mind). It’s the smartest stop on the festival map—no bug spray required.

Collaboraction returns to Kidzapalooza with the Peace, Love and Magic Tent with three interactive shows daily inside an air-conditioned tent. Collaboraction is  Chicago's theatre for social change and they will create immersive  experiences for kids and families that emphasize respect, belonging and collaboration. And, don't miss their roaming circus performers and bubble  zones!

Come  create with Easel Art Studio amongst the sounds and lights of Lollapalooza. Easel Art is a fixture in the Chicago community and has been providing a  space and entertainment at the festival for the past 6 years. Come to the tent to take part in a mural and walk away with your own key chain!
