Vancouver International Children's Festival — Attraction in Vancouver

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. The performers were top-notch, and it was clear they loved entertaining the children. The staff and volunteers were incredibly friendly and helpful.

We left with our hearts full and memories to cherish. I highly recommend this festival to any family looking for an enriching and joyful experience. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event!

Her performance was outstanding and deeply moving. I hope to have more opportunities to enjoy her music...
