Events Description
For more than 40 years, the International Children’s Festival of the Arts has inspired thousands of kids and their grown-ups and provided them with countless awe-inspiring and mind-growing experiences. For decades, the festival has nurtured, inspired and ignited creative expression for our young, global citizens, and worked diligently to promote a higher degree of empathy, confidence, well-being and cultural understanding. At the festival, children will tap into the power of creative expression as they observe world-class artists at the height of their crafts, sing and dance to world music, interact with roving artists, listen to stories of others’ experiences, and create their own masterpieces with the help of a multitude of hands-on activities.
There will be no shortage of fun with tons of ticketed activities to choose from including everything from circus arts and break dancing to drumming and printmaking to hula hooping and fairy finding. And there is so much more including Toddler Town on the Global Edmonton River Trail, food trucks and many free things to do!
