Our 2021 Festival will feature dazzling performances from artists far and wide. From local treasures to international gems, these captivating performers will put a smile on your child’s face and make you hoot with laughter. Both Public tickets and School tickets are on sale NOW.
Like with most things these days, the Festival will look a little bit different this year.
The reimagined 2021 Festival will offer a mix of Live Online and Pre-recorded Online performances with an extra 7 days of extended show viewing. With current provincial health orders restricting events and for the safety of patrons, the Festival will not be selling In-person performance tickets at this time. Should BC Public Health Authorities lift restrictions, the Festival will release a limited number of tickets for In-person shows that will take place in venues on Granville Island. The Festival will monitor communications from the provincial health office and make an announcement regarding in-person tickets by the end of April. View the tentative In-person show lineup.
