Testimonials
Faces were painted, games were played, origami was folded and great food was enjoyed. Thank you for giving us such as fun filled, memory making day! We are already excited about next year!
Our students had never been to Granville Island before. The joy on the faces of the kids at watching live theatre was priceless and they had a lot of fun in the Activity Village! We really enjoyed our entire day.
I absolutely love this festival, my child and I look forward to it every year.
The mix of live theatre, muisc, dance and circus shows from Canada and all over the world.
