There’s also a dough tossing contest for kids…they’ll learn the art of the toss by Fong’s master dough tosser, then try their hand for three awesome prizes!!
The kids will love the Pizza Party Fun Zone, with all kinds of games and activities…like Pepperoni Ring Toss, Pizza Play Dough Station, and sidewalk chalk.

The District’s own Innovators Academy will be at the Fest with pizza fun, like video games with a pizza controller and a pizza piano.
