Children need spaces that support the development of potential, the courage to express themselves, and interaction with the environment. The National Children's Day Festival in Kwarasan Village is held as one of the community service activities that provides opportunities for children to show their abilities and creativity. This activity aims to describe the implementation of the National Children's Day Festival by developing children's potential through activities involving children's participation and expression. The activity was carried out through several stages which included preparation, mentoring and training, festival implementation, and evaluation with a participatory approach. Activity data is obtained through observation and documentation. The activity involved children from SDN 1 Kwarasan, SDN 3 Kwarasan, and Pertiwi Kwarasan Kindergarten through pantomime performances, Jaranan dance, and coloring competitions at three TPAs. The results of the activity showed that children were enthusiastic about participating in activities, daring to perform, and had the opportunity to develop creativity, cooperative skills, and confidence. Support from the community and mentoring during the preparation stage also help create a positive atmosphere for children. Thus, the National Children's Day Festival can be a form of service activity that supports the development of children's potential through art activities, creativity, and social participation in the Kwarasan Village environment.
