IS STEVESTON KIDS® FOR KIDS?
No!  The target market of Steveston Kids® is parents.  Parents are huge consumers and eagerly looking for a restaurant to eat out at (both with and without kids), shopping for themselves and their kids, a gym to work out at, a great coffee shop, where to make wine, buy appliances, find unique gifts, take an art class, visit a spa, get a haircut and so much more.  The goal is to let them know what Steveston has to offer and get them to shop Steveston and support the local business owners.

Steveston Kids® is unique in that it is the only resource for parents to find local programs for their kids— sports, dance, music, activities, preschools, birthday parties, baby activities, and local events.
