Parks Playhouse Junior - Montgomery Parks

Calling All Little Musicians and Performers

Parks Playhouse Junior is returning in 2025! This children’s entertainment series is the perfect activity for little ones this summer. Come out to enjoy one hour of immersive, kid-centric entertainment! Performances will engage your child’s imagination and get them moving and grooving. The lineup for the summer includes sing-a-longs, dance-a-longs, puppet shows, theater performances, and new this year – bubble shows and science shows!

This series will take place throughout the summer on various weekday and weekend mornings from 10 to 11 am.

When attending Parks Playhouse Junior, bring your sunny-day gear, water bottle, and blankets or lawn chairs for viewing. Make it a mid-morning picnic by bringing along your favorite snacks and treats to munch on while you enjoy the show!
