Enjoy a celebration of the end of summer as kids get ready to go back to school. The evening will be full of great family entertainment, including Kari Kovick and Her Big Kid Band, a production of A Night On Broadway by the Floyd Community Theatre Guild and a screening of the movie "Coco". As usual, the park will be filled with activities for kids including: face painting, giant bounce inflatables, potato sack races and lots more games!

Join Kari Kovick and Her Big Kid Band as they kick off the evening with music that will have your kids dancing and singing along in the spacious Warren G. Lineberry Park.

Kari Kovick lives in the one-stoplight town of Floyd, Virginia. She moved there in 1999 with her husband and two daughters to follow her bliss: to share her favorite children’s music in a community setting where she could grow up alongside kids and their parents. She created Heart of the Child Music Education, a joyful, interactive music program, and has watched it grow organically and persistently over the past 18 years.

Heart of the Child Music Education began by serving one classroom of Floyd Head Start preschoolers. It now serves 33 classrooms (over 750 children) in year 2017, in public and private school settings all over Floyd. Its mission is to not only deliver high quality music education, but also to offer consistent, positive connection for its students’ social and emotional lives as long as they live in Floyd.

It uses research based trainings in Music Together®, Education Through Music and Orff Schulwerk to inform its music programming. Studies in attachment theory, positive discipline, and mindfulness help serve its students’ inner lives in the most positive way. Kari draws her song selection from her friends in the Children’s Music Network, songs which honor, celebrate and educate children on pro-social and pro-environmental ideals. Heart of the Child Music Education has many fans in the thousands of students, parents, teachers and administrators it has served, and Kari enjoys Rock-Star status when she runs into her 5 and under students in the local grocery store.

The Community Theatre Guild partners with the Floyd June Bug Center and Floyd High School to bring acting opportunities to all ages in the community.

Stick around as the sun goes down for a screening of the 2017 Disney/ Pixar movie "Coco" rated PG, about a young boy desperate to prove his musical talent, despite his family’s ban on music.
