Our family had an absolutely wonderful time at the 2024 Vancouver International Children’s Festival! This event is truly a gem for families and children of all ages. The variety of performances, workshops, and interactive activities was astounding, offering something special for everyone.
The organizers did a fantastic job ensuring the festival was both fun and educational. My kids were captivated by various shows, and thoroughly engaged in the hands-on craft sessions.
