Our Impact
Testimonials
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 event! I like the variety of activities, the music, the roving artists, the general atmosphere, everything! I also love the shows — the variety of options is fantastic. Now I tell all my friends they have to go too!
I love the atmosphere — the Activity Village is great and all the families pouring out of various shows with big smiles, excited to talk about their theatre experience. It’s just the best. My children and I look forward to it every year.
