CHILDREN ARE WELCOME AT THE FLAT LAKE !

We would like to make it clear that kids are very, very welcome. We are trying to put together as much stuff for children as possible. We have all kinds of kids workshops with musicians and actors and God knows what. There'll be no ubiquitous cheesy bouncy castle at this festival, oh no. So, bring your little piglets along and have some good old family fun.

And don't forget .... kids under 12 are freeeeeee.
