More than 20,000 parents, children and relatives attended to the first ever Jiggle Jam Family Music Fest, making it the largest family music festival in the Midwest. And, there’s even more in store for 2009.

The giants are coming back! They Might Be Giants, the alternative rock duo that has left humongous footprints on records, Grammy-winning soundtracks and kid-show theme songs, showed Kansas City that young families can play, sing, dance, listen and learn together at last year’s festival. And, they’ll be back to headline the second annual Jiggle Jam Music Fest over Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, at Crown Center.

In addition to live, youth-oriented performances by They Might Be Giants, Dan Zanes, Brady Rymer, Justin Roberts, Trout Fishing in America, and favorite Kansas City performers like “Mr. Stinky Feet and Funky Mama, the festival features musical workshops, puppet shows, craft activities, shopping, games, food and drink. Wonderscope, will be among the special activities, as well as musical chairs and coloring, and the grounds of Crown Center Square will be set up with the popular bubble tents and bouncy toys.

The first festival of its kind in the Midwest, Jiggle Jam is designed to generate the most joyful sound in the world – that of families having fun together!

See you at Jiggle Jam 2009!!

"So last year's KC Jiggle Jam was pretty impressive: They Might Be Giants, Justin Roberts, Trout Fishing in America, plus regional favorites like Jim Cosgrove (who drew the biggest crowd of the weekend), Funky Mama, and Dino O' Dell. ... stages for this summer and fall suggests that that's going to be a pretty good time, too, at this point it's just a question as to whether the Jiggle Jam is the best family music lineup this year or the best family music lineup ever."

"The weekend was great! The kids fest was fantastic! Great turnout! The promoters did an excellent job and were really on top of their game. We'd love to be a part of this again next year."    
--They Might Be Giants

"Jiggle Jam was one of the best events we have encountered in 30 years of performing together. We were pleased in every way."    
--Trout Fishing in America

"WOW! You really know how to throw a party! What a wonderful event you planned for the kids and their families--AND for we lucky folks who got to play along, too! Our clicker count (kids + adults) for Saturday was 5838, and for Sunday was right under 4000. Amazing!"     
--Jane Wilson at Wonderscope
