The annual Kidsfest celebration attracted hundreds of families to Jefferson City's downtown area Saturday.

Vendors and games lined the sides of High Street, allowing families to take part in activities like face painting, shopping or seeing the inside of a fire truck.

Cindy Ryals brought her three grandchildren to the free event to enjoy some fun and games.
