Featuring Benjamin Glasgow
All children must be accompanied by an adult. Admission-free.
Get ready to warm up your February with a Saturday morning of steelpan percussion as Benjamin Glasgow shares the music of Caribbean Carnival with young audiences. A special selection of Carnival themed children’s picture books will be available at the event and the Festival Napa Valley bubble machine bubbling. Dancing is strongly encouraged!
Step back in time with a family-friendly Saturday morning program of silent films and early animated cartoons brought to life on the Jarvis screen by live piano accompaniment and custom live sound effects. Enjoy early slapstick gags at their finest in The Cook (1918), directed by Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, starring Arbuckle and Buster Keaton, and see Walt Disney’s hand-drawn precursor to Mickey Mouse — Oswald the Lucky Rabbit — in The Mechanical Cow (1922) and Trolley Troubles (1927). Selections from the Fleischer Brothers’ Koko the Clown cartoons and more round out this not to be missed adventure in early cinema fun.
