🌿 New for 2025: The Jungle Trading Post! 🌿
This year, kids can earn tokens by playing carnival games. Then, head to the Jungle Trading Post to trade them in for prizes!
They can choose a few smaller goodies or save up their tokens for something bigger (kind of like the prize counter at an arcade!) It’s a fun new way to play!
Classic bounce for all ages
Strap in & scramble - new for 2025!
Race a friend - fast & fun!
We’re bringing the flavor to Jag Fest! From sweet treats to savory bites, our food trucks have something for everyone.
Need a quick break from the festival fun? Step into the Exclusive PTA VIP Lounge, located near the Elementary Playground in Zone 3. It's your cool, calm retreat during Jag Fest!
Enjoy air conditioning and light refreshments, including donated sausage from Southside Market and a fruit tray from Sprouts. Take a moment to unwind, connect, and recharge while still keeping an eye on your kiddos at the playground.
