The V\u00f5ru Children\u2019s Festival is an exciting two-day event for children of all ages. A large part of the city becomes a veritable playground, with games and activities at every corner, on each street, and all along the lakefront.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Downtown V\u00f5ru will be divided into themed sections, including a theatre courtyard, movies and video games, magic, a circus, science and technology, open-stage performances by the children themselves, a mini-zoo, an amusement park, and of course the famous Foam Party. There will also be a lot more, naturally, because we would all do anything for the children. Right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Each year the V\u00f5ru Children\u2019s Festival also features a fair where children can buy toys, candies, sweet pastries, and anything else children can imagine. Entrance to the festival is free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The following four theme parks do require a ticket, however: The Adventure &amp; Amusement Park, the Cinema House, the Theatre Courtyard, and the Fantasy Courtyard. Both days of the festival start at 10:00, and Saturday concludes at 18:00, Sunday at 15:00.
