The Art Mobile
Managing the Kids Art Zone
The Art Mobile is our new best friend. They’ll be managing the Art Zone and assisting your kids in painting their tees.
Paint a Tee
11am – 4pm
Kids that arrive early will receive a FREE tee paint to take home! They’ll be given permanent fabric markers and encouraged to draw on their tee. Give your kid a permanent reminder of Summer Jam West, compliments of Siefert Family Dentist .
Sidewalk Chalking
All Day!
Kids of all ages will be inspired by our professional chalk artists. Let them draw from their imaginations and what they see around them, to create colorful pictures of not-so permanent art.
Parrotdise
All Day!
Jan’s birds draw quite the crowd! Her birds talk, dance when the music moves them, are sociable and love the attention. Look for Parrotdise in a shady spot at the Kids Art Zone.
Face Painting
11am – 4pm
We always offer free face painting to the kids of Summer Jam West. Our professional face painters take their time to give the kids an incredible painted face experience where they can be something other than themselves for the day. This year we have 4 face painters lined up to keep the lines a little shorter.
Balloon Twisting
11am – 4pm
Darling Balloons is back to twist wizard wands, animals and fairy wings at the Kids Art Zone. She’ll twist away until her balloons and her energy run out! Last year was her first time at Summer Jam West and she had so much fun, she’s back for another.
Dog Cooling
Health Pets of Westgate
Healthy Pets of Westgate will once again man the Dog Cooling Station. It’s an ideal way-station on a hot day for your furry friend. Bring your well behaved dog by to cool off and take a long, cold drink.
HPC
All Day!
HPC Urban Homesteading has been a huge hit at Summer Jam West for the past two years. Last year they brought you numerous crafts and a bike powered race track. This year they have spin drums, cup games, whirly-gigs and PVC musical instruments.
Columbus Police
11am – 4pm
City of Columbus Police Department always brings their community best to Summer Jam West. The Equine Unit, K-9, Bicycle Patrol and our Liaison Officers are always a big hit. Kids will have the chance to jump in a cruiser, pet the horses and chat with our favorite officers.
Photo Op Props!
All Day!
We have incredibly fun photo op props for you this year! A vivid purple jam jar, a WeepinBell Pokemon character (taken directly from Roger J. Williams’ Movin’ & Groovin’ mural) and a new prop prepared especially for our Kids Art Zone Sponsor, Siefert Family Dentistry. All will be in front of the Fantastic Food Garden mural allowing you to snap away with colorful backgrounds.
