Be Wonder-filled!

For over forty-five years the International Children’s Festival of the Arts has transported kids to other worlds and provided them with countless awe-inspiring and mind-growing experiences. Over the years, the Festival has nurtured, inspired and ignited the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of young, global citizens and worked diligently to promote a higher degree of cultural understanding and creative expression. At the Festival, children will be inspired by world-renowned and international artists, sing and dance to world music, interact with roving artists, listen to stories of others’ experiences and faraway places, and create their own masterpieces with the help of a multitude of hands-on activities. In 2026, the Festival will once again bring opportunities to laugh and learn while creating lasting memories that draw families, friends and communities together.  

A HUGE thank you for the support and overwhelming generosity of our partners, sponsors and volunteers. We invite you to share in this inspirational explosion of colour, joy and exuberance like no other. 

- Andrea Gammon, Festival Coordinator
