Rattletree’s Child’s Play is an interactive, energetic live music experience featuring magnificent marimbas triggering driving synth sounds, bursts of color, and dynamic live video projection. The show celebrates lessons from Austin’s children about how adults can experience more JOY and connection by putting down our devices and taking time to PLAY! Think cartwheels, monkey bars, and making new friends at every opportunity. Open your heart, get off your screen, and embrace your life & your community.

Everyone is invited to celebrate human connection through this interactive, high-energy, family-friendly dance party. It’s FUN for the WHOLE FAMILY!

Guests attending any of the Rattletree concerts are invited to stay late or come early to intermingle between 8-9 PM each night. Friday evening features a Yoga Dance Party hosted by event sponsor Practice Yoga Studio, and on Saturday night Solomon Masala will lead a heart pounding Community Drum Circle sponsored by X8 Interactive Drumming. Cazamance African Food Truck will sell healthy, delicious treats both nights.

Guests are encouraged to leave their devices at home and get decked out in glow paint. Glow sticks and dancing ribbons will be available on the dance floor.
