Kids Fest at Cogans Park

September 13 2025

7:00 p.m
Cogans Park 4311 Colley Ave Norfolk, VA 23508 United States Price: Prices May Vary

Looking for something fun, local, and totally kid-approved? We’ve got you covered. Saturday, September 13th from 11am to 4pm, we’re turning Cogans Park – right next to Cogans Pizza in North Colley – into a full-on playground of pizza, laughter, and everything your crew loves. Kids Fest @ Cogans Park is our newest way to bring the neighborhood together, and we’re going all in.

Build-Your-Own Pizza and a Bounce House Bonanza

We’re kicking things off with a pizza making station where the kids get to play chef. Dough ball, sauce, cheese – everything they care about. Once the dough’s in the oven, it’s straight to the bounce house to burn off some of that pizza power. Fire trucks will be parked nearby for kids to explore, with the horns and sirens ready to go.

Face Paints, Music, and Chalked-Up Creativity

This day’s built for action and color. We’ll have face painting stations turning little ones into superheroes, butterflies, and tigers. Hoola-hoops will be spinning, music will be playing, and sidewalk chalk will be out in full force – so every kid gets a shot at sidewalk greatness.

Balloon Twisting Mayhem

We’ve lined up balloon animals, goofy games, and other surprises to keep the day rolling. If your kids leave without a balloon hat and pizza sauce on their face, did you even come to Kids Fest @ Cogans Park?

Meet Us at Cogans Pizza North

We’re all about the neighborhood, and Kids Fest @ Cogans Park is our way of throwing the doors open and inviting everyone in for a day that’s silly, tasty, and absolutely packed with fun. It’s happening at Cogans Park, right outside Cogans Pizza North, at 4311 Colley Avenue.

Tickets are limited, so keep an eye out – we’ll be releasing them soon. This is one event you won’t want to miss, and grabbing your spot early is the way to go. Follow along here so you’re first in line when tickets drop.
