About this event
Tío Tóto's interactive family music show is one where the audience becomes the band. Kids sing, dance, invent lyrics, choose movements and help write songs on the spot, with original children's music, bilingual moments, playful storytelling and spontaneous songwriting. It's a great midday outing for toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-age kids, homeschool families and their grown-ups. Bring a lunch or grab one from a downtown Round Rock business.

Who's playing
Tío Tóto performs original children's music mixed with bilingual moments, playful storytelling and spontaneous songwriting. His shows are built around participation. Kids invent lyrics, choose the movements and help write songs as the set goes, so no two performances come out the same.
What to expect
This is a show for moving, not for sitting quietly. Kids sing, dance, clap rhythms and shape the songs, and grown-ups are welcome to join in. It is aimed at toddlers, preschoolers, elementary-age kids and homeschool families. It runs over the lunch hour, so families can pack a lunch or pick one up from a downtown Round Rock business. The parklet shows are held outdoors around the Griffith Building, and the series has moved inside the City Arts Center when weather called for it.
Why go
The Hometown Lunchtime Parklet Shows are a Tuesday and Thursday fall series from City of Round Rock Arts and Culture, and this one is built for small kids. It suits a midday outing in downtown Round Rock. The setting is the Griffith Building, which also houses the city's new public gallery, so there is art nearby to see before or after.
