We still have a lot of games to staff. Last year we had to cancel a few due to a lack of bodies. VOLUNTEER HERE for a short, fun shift. Don’t make children sad!

Want to buy your DragonFest tickets ahead of time? Pre-sale ticket tables will be set up the morning of the carnival, at both campuses, from 8:40-9:40 AM. We have more games, food, and attractions than ever, which range from 2 to 14 tickets each.

Thanks again to Kellie and Wendy, owners of Hair Police, for keeping the carnival salon alive! They both will be on site to masterfully adorn the kids with a rainbow of high-quality hair extensions (14 tickets each) that last for 2 months.

THE PEACEFUL PARENT LOUNGE in the UC MEDIA CENTER features soothing music, dim lighting, free coffee/decaf from our local Dunn Bros, sweet treats from Nightingale, seated-chair massage by Joe from HealthSource of Minneapolis Uptown, a small child chill zone and OUR LOCAL BUSINESS SILENT AUCTION!
