Children’s Passports

A very popular feature of A World A’Fair, inaugurated in 2007, has been the Children’s Passport program. The Children’s Passport is a small booklet containing a page for each country/ethnic organization, with a photo from the organization and a question having to do with this year’s festival theme.


Children of all ages visiting the Festival receive a passport to be taken to each country’s booth where they will find or be told the answer to the question and have their “passport” stamped providing them with a fun learning experience.
