Whistler Children's Festival is back
May 15-17
Fuelled by adventure, creativity, and giggles, Whistler's longest-running festival - the Whistler Children's Festival - is back for its 43rd year! The Whistler Children's Festival promises adventure around every corner, featuring roving street performers, circus shows, science workshops and internationally acclaimed children's performers. Over the Victoria Day Long Weekend, the Maury Young Arts Centre comes alive with 8 showstopping theatre performances and 13 hands-on creative workshops. Highlights include Yuki the Juggler, an award-winning Japanese Canadian circus performer, and Orbax and Pepper bringing weird, mad science to the stage. Plus, enjoy free activities every day of the festival, from roving street entertainment to Kids Karaoke and Stories on Wheels. New this year, the Bratz Biz Youth Market takes over Whistler Olympic Plaza, featuring one-of-a-kind crafts made by young local entrepreneurs.
