FOR THE KIDS Family Fun! The Bitter & Twisted Festival welcomes families to come along for the fun (of course anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult within the Festival site) and to keep the kiddies entertained there will be face-painting and Bitter & Twisted characters to entertain, surprise and delight.
