KAYSVILLE — This is the place to be for a full day of fun, from sunrise exercise to an outdoor movie after dark.

Kaysville hosts Art and Music in the Park on Saturday, June 16, in Heritage Park, 150 N. Fairfield Road. Admission is free.

The day begins at 6 a.m. with a pre-festival Zumba class. Zumba gets the heart pumping with a mix of dance, martial arts and even Bollywood moves. Participants in the class receive a free water bottle.

The festival officially starts at 11 a.m., but folks who show up 15 minutes early can stop by the Kaysville Parks & Recreation booth for a free raffle ticket. From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., the park will be filled with activities for adults and children, art exhibits and a quilt display. More than 50 vendors will be selling fine arts and crafts, plus a variety of foods.

Live entertainment starts at 11 a.m., culminating in a 7:30 p.m. performance by headliner Carmen Rasmusen. Rasmusen, who lives in Utah County, became famous as a teen when she was selected as a finalist on “American Idol.” One of her music videos won the “Pick it or Flick it” competition on CMT’s Top 20 Countdown, and she continues to write music and perform. She is also an author.

The day ends with an outdoor screening of “The Muppets” (2011, PG) at dusk.

Parking is limited, but a free shuttle will run between the park and Davis High School, 325 S. Main St.
