There’s no shortage of fun at this festival!
From Toddlers to Big Kids
This festival has been igniting the imagination of children and families across the region for over 35 years. With music, stories, & live theatre including a re-telling of Thumbelina, skillfully blending dance, puppetry and live music. Also, the world of Neverland brightens up the stage with aerialists, tumblers and jugglers. Stories really do come alive with so many more diverse main stage Feature Performances , site activities, a pancake breakfast and even free things to do!
New This Year
Festival organizers will launch a pilot program, designed with the help of the Centre for Autism Services Alberta and Autism Edmonton, to support children and other visitors with sensory processing disorders. “We’re always looking for ways to make the Festival more inclusive. This initiative, generously funded in part by the Edmonton Community Foundation, is designed for kids with a range of special needs and offers a variety of supports, such as calming zones, enhanced way-finding, and kits equipped with noise and light dampening devices, to help manage sensory overstimulation,” Jerrott explains.
