Events Description

 
Explore the whimsical wonders of theatre with internationally-acclaimed guests this May long weekend!
The Uptown International Children’s Festival, presented by TO Live, is an action-packed and fun-filled weekend where children of all ages and their families can experience live theatrical performances, participate in sing-alongs, explore worlds of wonder, and create new and lasting memories.

Toronto Centre for the Arts will host theatrical performances, with outdoor activities and interactive events happening at the adjacent Mel Lastman Square.

Featured theatrical performances include a comedic international clowning production about friendship, a re-mastering of the classic tale of Macbeth, a performance about the environment and how one person can enact positive change, and a musical performance of the Grammy-Award Winning “Feel What You Feel” by Lisa Loeb where everyone is encouraged to embrace their inner child and feel all the feels!

All families are welcomed at the inaugural Uptown International Children’s Festival for a weekend filled with laughter and amazement!
