CK Youth Festival Today

The CK Youth Festival is back for it's eighth year in Tecumseh Park.

Kelly Bachus with CK Recreation says it's bigger and better than ever.

"We have 14 different inflatables," says Bachus. "There's going to be face painting, as usual, there's glitter tattoos this year, there's an entertainer from the Detroit Circus coming. So there's a ton of stuff going on the park."

There will also be people handing out information about summer activities available for kids and families in Chatham-Kent.

Last year over 6,000 people attended the free event. This year's event runs from 11am-3pm.
