“Each year we take our entire school to the event because we know we will see world class performances and entertainment.” Miles Smitten, Principal, Wiltse Elementary School.

Teachers call this the ‘best field trip ever’ and parents describe it as the ‘best family event of the BC Interior’!

No wonder. With an amazing collection of entertainers for young audiences from Germany, Russia, USA and all across Canada, this festival will amuse, amaze and move you. Choose from 20 shows with tickets for school groups at $7 and general admission at $8.00 ($7.50 if you use our new on-line order system).

Tickets to any show include all on-site activities, workshops and Open Stage shows, making this Festival a great bargain for schools and families.

Plus! This year, we are ‘takin’ it to the lake’! The Children’s Festival is moving into huge performance-style tents that we’ll set up at the Okanagan Lake Park. We are thrilled that we are now in one of the most spectacular festival sites of North America!

The ever-popular, wild and wacky Vaudeville Show is back on Friday night at 7pm at the Cleland Theatre. And watch for our sensational ‘Land of Rhythms-A Century of Dance’ show on Saturday night at the Cleland, plus the on-site dance workshops on school days celebrating Penticton’s Centennial. So welcome to the Festival! Come join us in this wonderful world of music, comedy, theatre, dance, circus arts and tons of hands-on fun! The excitement is ‘in-tents’!”
