Missed the first Kids Fest event? Don’t worry! There’s another Kids Fest on July 15th from 5-7pm at Broadway Recreation Center located at 300 N Broadway Street in Florence, Alabama. This will be the 2nd round of Kids Fest; However, the fun will still be the same as the first. If you aren’t able to make it to that, here’s a list of other exciting events to attend all in the month of July (pictured above).
