Sensory-friendly 'Kid Zone' introduced at this year's Mex-Tex Family Fiesta
May 29—MIDLAND — Mex-Tex Family Fiesta is excited to introduce a special addition to this year's event scheduled Saturday, June 8: the Kid Zone Sensory Hours. This new feature aims to provide a sensory-friendly play area for children with additional support needs, ensuring that every child can fully enjoy the festivities, a news release said.
The Kid Zone, located inside the Midland County Horseshoe, will offer sensory-friendly hours from noon until 3:00 p.m. during the 37th Mex-Tex Family Fiesta. The Midland Hispanic Chamber of Commerce created this sensory-friendly environment with the invaluable guidance of S.H.A.R.E. In this designated play area, children can enjoy activities like face painting and sensory bags in a soothing atmosphere. Designed for those sensitive to loud noises, the space will be quiet and feature bean bags for kids to relax and unwind.
The Kid Zone is proudly sponsored by Pristine Organic Cleaners and Midland College, demonstrating their commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all families.
