Chirp Family Festival to Bring “Village” Vibes to Bridgeway Station this Sunday

Upstate families looking to connect with local resources while enjoying a day of entertainment have a destination this weekend. The Chirp Family Festival is set to take over Bridgeway Station this Sunday, April 26, offering a blend of expert parenting advice and high-energy carnival fun.

Running from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the festival is a free community event designed to bridge the gap between parents and the professional resources available in the Greenville area. Under the tagline “Real Experts, Real Advice, Real Fun,” the event aims to help parents “build their village” in an approachable, festive environment.

Expert Guidance for Parents

A central feature of the festival is the access to Parent Focused Speakers. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from local experts on various developmental and parenting topics, with dedicated time for Q&A sessions.

“This event isn’t just a festival—it’s about connection, community, and showing up for families in a big way,” the organizers shared.

All-Day Entertainment

While parents engage with guest speakers and meet with trusted local businesses, children will have no shortage of activities to keep them occupied. The “Family Fun” lineup includes:

• Active Play: Bouncy houses and a mini-golf course.

• Performances: Circus performers and live music throughout the day.

• Creative Zones: Face painting, balloon art, and arts & crafts stations.

• Special Appearances: Meet-and-greets with popular princess characters.

Plan Your Visit

Located at the picturesque Bridgeway Station (1000 Via Corso Ave), the festival will also feature various food and drink vendors to keep the crowds fueled.

While admission to the festival is free, organizers encourage families to register in advance at chirpfamilies.com to stay updated on speaker schedules and event highlights.
