Crybaby Concerts

Fontana is proud to continue the Crybaby Concert Series. Held in venues in the Kalamazoo area on Saturday mornings, these mini-concerts allow children under the age of five and their parents, grandparents, and siblings to enjoy a 45-minute performance of beautiful music in an open and flexible environment – even if your little one feels like crying!

There is room to move and plenty of space for stroller parking. Nutritious, kid-friendly snacks are provided after each performance, and complimentary coffee is available for the adults. All Crybaby Concerts are FREE!
