Children are encouraged to get outside and get active with Holland Parks and Recreation at
the Holland Farmers Market Kids Activities this Wednesday, July 31! The Kids Activities are held at the
Market every Wednesday from 9:30 am – 11:30 am through August 14. The Activities are free to attend

This Wednesday, July 31, Holland Parks and Recreation will host a variety of fun games and activities at
the Market Kids Activities to encourage children to get moving outdoors! Being active is a great habit to
adopt as part of a healthy lifestyle, along with eating a diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables. Games will
include cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder ball, and much more. Families will also have an opportunity to learn
more about all of the recreation options that Holland Parks and Recreation will be hosting this coming fall
and winter, including team sports, dance and gymnastics, fine arts, and more.


Holland Parks and Recreation, a department of the City of Holland, is all about improving lives by offering
high-quality recreation programs for community members in the Holland area. They provide a wide variety
of leagues, classes, clinics, and special events for both adults and youth throughout the year. Visit their
website at www.hollandrecreation.com to learn about upcoming programs and events, including their
popular Summer Concert Series


The weekly Kids Activities at the Holland Farmers begin with an interactive Market Story Time hosted by
the Herrick District Library starting at 9:30 am, followed by a drop-in activity led by a local non-profit
organization or business from 10:00 am until 11:30 am. All activities planned are educational, hands-on,
and fun and are geared for ages 3-10. The full schedule of activities can be found below and on the
Market Kids Activities Facebook event page. Activities are free to attend, but a parent or guardian must
remain onsite the entire time to supervise their children. Activities take place in the northwest parking lot
outside of the Holland Civic Center Place (150 West 8th Street).

Community Action House
Healthy Eating Habits
The team from Community Action House will be here to help children learn about how to make healthy
eating choices and why it’s important to fuel our bodies with the right nutrients! Children can join in on a
fun, interactive activity and get a free temporary fruit or vegetable tattoo to help them remember to eat a
rainbow of foods every day!

August 14
Corewell Health
Smoothie Bike
Corewell Health’s popular Smoothie Bike is back! Children can pedal a stationary bike to blend their own
smoothies to sample...both with and without spinach! Will your child taste the “sneaky spinach”
difference? Children will have the opportunity to learn about healthy eating and bring home their own
smoothie recipes to try, courtesy of the Corewell’s CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) team,
who travel the area teaching healthy eating habits to local schools.
