Little ones can rock out like stars

Finally, a rockfest for little youngsters: TPG presents Philly Kids Rock Fest, a rock carnival for ages 2 to 7 Saturday at Union Transfer in Spring Garden.

DJ Jon Gill will spin the tunes. Performances include the Nate & Kate Kids Show, which mixes original folk kids music with juggling routines; husband wife duo Lara & Joe performing their brand of kiddie rock; and Metro Kids Club doing dance and karate demos.

Children can make musical instruments with teen musicians from Rock to the Future and dress up like a rock star. There will be a moon bounce and carnival games. The rock fest includes free activities from Arden Theater, the Franklin Institute, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, My Fabulous Mama, Lolli Lolli and Tall Pines. Kids can also enjoy tasting some sweet treats.

Tap a tree for syrup and partake in a feast on Saturday at Tyler Arboretum's Pancake Breakfast and Maple Sugaring Celebration from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Take a tour of Tyler and learn how sap is turned into syrup. Guests will then take turns tapping a tree. After tapping, visitors can feast on an all-you-can-eat pancake and sausage breakfast in the arboretum's historic barn.

All proceeds from the event will go to support the arboretum.

On Saturday, the Magic of the Gustafsons comes to the Sellersville Theater.

Married magician duo Richard and Joanne Gustafson have appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and performed internationally. The all-ages show is for the young and young at heart. The magicians, who have performed their magic and illusions for more than 50 years together, describe their show as "magicomedy."
