For the 16th annual Arthur Ashe Kids Day, pop superstars and tennis all-stars will converge at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Grounds on Aug. 27 for an all-day tennis and music festival for children and families.
In addition to watching the pros practice and scoring their autographs, attendees — who were lucky enough to score tickets — will also enjoy a musical performance from 1 to 3 pm by a pop star who has yet to be announced. (Previous years’ headliners included such boldface names as the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, David Archuletta, Rhianna, and Britney Spears.) Other activities include an obstacle course, where kids can test their agility, balance, and running skills; tennis clinics; face-painters; hair braiders; and balloon artists. There’s sure to be something for everyone.
Arthur Ashe Kids Day at Arthur Ashe Stadium [Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Grounds, Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Flushing, (800) OPEN-TIX], Aug. 27 from 9:30 am – 3 pm. Admission $10. For info, visit www.usopen.org.
