Admission-free performances for families with young children begin November 15
Festival Napa Valley’s popular MusicTime in the Library program is expanding to American Canyon, Calistoga, and St. Helena beginning this fall.
Launched in 2024, the admission-free concert series on select Saturday mornings quickly became a favorite among families. Its playful, interactive performances designed for young children and their families bring music to life through storytelling and movement, sparking creativity and curiosity.
“Every child deserves the chance to experience live music,” said Lissa Gibbs, Festival Napa Valley’s Vice President of Education & Community. “Through MusicTime in the Library and our partnerships with Napa County Library and St. Helena Public Library, we can bring musicians directly into neighborhoods, reaching families across Napa County. We are honored to expand this program to more locations.”
MusicTime in the Library is a Festival Napa Valley Arts for All program, supported in part by the Peter A. & Vernice H. Gasser Foundation.
