Kids all over Beaufort County enjoy the first Sunday of Water Festival the most, because, well, it’s Children’s Day! Families enjoy a host of activities, ranging from jump castles, face painting and line dancing to magic shows, carnival games and local entertainment. <!--more--> Kids and adults will also take pleasure in the rain tent, which sprays a soft mist of water, necessary for the predicted 100 degree temperature. And, they will be delighted with ice cream courtesy of the Farm Bureau and water from BJWSA.
