Every Monday, Channel 2 News proudly presents Artown's Family Series for the whole month of July. On Monday night, families enjoyed a mix of art and entertainment.
There were art projects and performances for the whole family, including a special acrobatic show that many people looked forward to watching. Children danced along to the moves of Galumpha as the dancers performed choreography and acrobatics on stage.
Vanessa Giesey, from Sparks said, "Once the shows come on, they dance around and have a lot of fun with all of the other kids."
Family friendly events like this are every Monday night at Artown's family series at Wingfield Park.
 "You get to have fun with your family and I think that's what Artown is all about," said Madison Stiansky, a 12-years-old.Â
Madison Stianksy's family and friends set up their blankets and picnic baskets to enjoy the night.Â
Arius Steen, from Reno said, "It has a lot of interactive entertainment and a lot of focus on all the arts."
Throughout the park there were interactive art projects for all ages.Â
Rosie Winkle said, "I secretly enjoy being a child with all of this stuff, so it's a great excuse. So something just as simple as painting this wall is learning so it's good to be creative and get messy with your hands."
Mona Ledbetter and her daughter Lisa came to paint and spend time together.Â
"I think it brings us closer together, just trying to relax by doing some art," said Ledbetter.Â
Children also showed their creativity with bubbles, arts and crafts. They also got to help Cuddles the Clown make a balloon animal.Â
Vanessa Giesey and her children make it a mission to try to come every week the whole month of July.Â
"It's a lot of fun and it's nice that it doesn't cost them an arm and leg to bring them down here, said Giesey.Â
