Wonder and awe awaits!
Learn more about the featured programming of this year's International Children's Festival including the Canadian premiere of Dodecalis Luminarium, an immersive sculpture of light, colour and air.
Optimism, Imagination and Possibility
For nearly 40 years, the Festival has exposed countless youngsters to the arts in an entertaining and educational way. But more than that, it has introduced them to a bigger, more exciting world, and jump-started their curiosity, creativity and confidence. After all, someone will become the future of space travel, make the next medical breakthrough or create priceless pieces of art – why not them? Through world-class programming in music, dance and theatre, as well as literary, visual and circus arts, kids learn they are only bound by their imagination, and imagination is limitless!
A rich history.
A signature cultural event in our region, 2020 marks the 39th year for the Festival in northern Alberta and the 26th year it has been hosted in St. Albert. So, take a moment to grow, develop and nurture our community, ourselves and most importantly, our children.
