Just as wolves travel in packs and work together to flourish in life, our group runs with one heart and one mind. Teaching our children the songs, dances, and stories will keep our traditions alive for generations to come. Come see us perform traditional Salish song and dance at this year’s Festival.

Our Impact
Testimonials
We had a fantastic time here. Saw Cirque Zuma Zuma with my 3 year old daughter — she was engaged for the entire hour of the performance! Lots of great activities, which are included in the price when you buy a show ticket.
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!
I love how this festival supports new faces and art, and makes space for them on the festival stages, to share their traditions, cultural practises and creative expression.
