The Kid's Village is located by the Well Being Pavillion in a lovely shaded area of the festival grounds. Amongst the trees, you will experience the magic of the Lorax Theater. The play is adapted from the well-loved Dr. Seuss story and its 12 actor/dancers and 3 musicians infuse the age-old drama of consumption, loss, conservation and hope with immediacy and charm.
The music comes alive on the UNESCO Kids Stage sponsored by UNESCO and the Pour La Terre organization. Started by the United Nations, UNESCO works for a just, sustainable and peaceful world society. With its roster of world-class musicians, UNESCO seeks to use music to make transformation by touching the hearts and minds of people and motivating them to change their ways of thinking towards a peaceful and sustainable future. Proceeds will benefit select Bay Area School District programs, the UNESCO/Earth Charter Secretariat and Pour La Terre.
Apart from Children's programming, the headline talent for the 2006 Harmony Festival also includes: Bob Weir, founder of the Grateful Dead, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Ozomatli, Cake, War and many others.
