Kapital Kidvention is the DC area's convention for children's and family entertainers, returning to the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington, Virginia, January 29 to 31, 2027, organized by Lynn and Louis Meyer.
The weekend runs on parallel tracks so magicians, face painters, balloon artists, clowns and puppeteers each get a full programme of workshops, alongside business classes that serve everyone. Recent editions have packed the days with breakout sessions across half a dozen salons, a vendor room with its own raffle night, face painting and balloon competitions, evening shows, and night jam sessions where every art form ends up at the same table, with a pre-jam the night before things officially start.
Registration for 2027 opens on Deal Day, September 14, 2026, through the Kidvention site, and rooms are booked at the host Marriott through the convention's group link.
