The 10th annual A Kid’s World will be held Saturday Aug.16, at the Mississippi Trade Mart in Jackson, MS.

A Kid’s World, presented by Clear Channel Radio, is an interactive entertainment event for children and their parents offering opportunities to shop, play and sample products. Other features include multiple space jumps, inflatable obstacle courses, face painting, costumed characters, a petting zoo, magicians, clowns, two 18- foot slides and a rock-climbing wall … all under one air-conditioned roof!

This year Kids World is “Going Green” and Medicaid of Mississippi presents Marvel Superheroes Spiderman, Iron Man and Captain America teaching kids how to conserve energy and resources while saving the Earth. They will perform two shows at 11:30 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. There will also be an autograph session following each show.

Inky the Clown will do two live shows on the main stage. The show includes juggling balls, clubs, rings, axes, fire and the crowd’s favorite bowling balls; hilarious magic tricks, balancing plates on sticks and balloon animals. Inky is a local favorite and definitely a Kid’s World favorite.

As always, there will be a car-seat safety check sponsored by Gray Daniels Nissan. Drive through our checkpoint station to ensure that your child’s car seat is properly and safely installed. Safety checkpoint is performed by Safe Kids of Mississippi and will be open from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Advanced discounted tickets ($3) are available at area Brookshire’s Grocery, Penn’s Fish House and T-Mobile locations or pay $5 at the door. Children 2 and younger get in free.
