Testimonials
With so much to explore, this is definitely an experience you and the little ones won’t want to miss.
Youngsters attending the festival will be exposed to more culture than many adults get on a night out.
To see queer culture represented and celebrated at the children’s festival was a pretty powerful thing for my kids and I. Thank you children’s fest, you did good!
