We loved the performance!!! It was well structured, energetic, informative, interactive and so joyful.
The Festival is filled with professional artistic experiences that inspire creativity for kids (and let’s face it, it’s just plain fun!)

Gift Certificate — Christmas Gift
Lighten Santa’s load this Holiday Season and opt to give an experience rather than a thing. Holiday memories come from the shared feasting, the family jokes, the carolling, the chaos, the crafting – the shared experience. This year, give the gift of a day at the Vancouver International Children’s Festival.
