Whistler Children’s Festival
May 17 @ 4:30 pm - May 19 @ 6:00 pm
Fuelled by adventure, creativity, and giggles, Whistler’s longest-running festival – the Whistler Children’s Festival – is back for its 41st year!
The Whistler Children’s Festival promises adventure around every corner of Whistler’s Cultural Connector, featuring roving circus performers, magic shows, interactive experiences, and internationally acclaimed children’s performers.
Over the May long weekend, the Maury Young Arts Centre will host ticketed performances and workshops, including acts like Juno-nominated Ginalina and America’s Got Talent ventriloquist Michael Harrison – just two highlights of this year’s lineup.
For science enthusiasts, the festival welcomes back Science World on the Road for another year of inspiring workshops, among many other small-group workshop opportunities. Whistler’s longest-running festival engages children and families in arts and culture, urging them to explore creativity and let their imaginations run wild.
Amidst the excitement, there are many FREE activities to enjoy each day of the Fest, including puppet shows, scavenger hunts, classical quartets, and much more to explore around Whistler Village. So, lace up your walking (or dancing) shoes and get ready for a jam-packed weekend of creativity, laughter, and play!
