This month, all eyes will be on Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open, where tennis greats like Andy Roddick and Serena Williams are usually on the top of their game. But on Aug. 28, it’s all about the kids.
For the 15th annual Arthur Ashe Kids Day, pop superstars and tennis all-stars will converge on the stadium, for an all-day tennis and music festival for children and families, including interactive games and tennis clinics.
On the music front, the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato will perform, while kids will be the chance to hit with top tennis pros like Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick, Kim Clijsters and Novak Djokovic.
Other activities include an obstacle course, where kids can test their agility, balance, running and tennis skills, tennis clinics, and, for beginners, the opportunity to learn the game.
Face-painters, hair braiders and balloon artists will also be on hand, so there’s sure to be something for everyone.
Arthur Ashe Kids Day at Arthur Ashe Stadium [Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Flushing, (800) OPEN-TIX], Aug. 28 from 9:30 am-4 pm. Tickets $10-$20. For info, visit www.usopen.org.
