Vancouver International Children’s Festival Returns to Granville Island!
May 25-31, 2026! Get your tickets today!
Spring is around the corner and so is the
Vancouver International Children’s Festival!
May just got a whole lot more exciting. The Vancouver International Children's Festival is back on Granville Island, and it's one of Metro Vancouver's most beloved annual events for families. Kids absolutely love it and parents do too.
Think live theatre, music, circus acts, and puppetry all created with young audiences in mind but seriously fun for the whole family. There's something truly special about watching kids experience their first live performance. Wide eyes, big smiles, and that pure sense of wonder that's hard to find anywhere else.
Here’s the best part: Every show ticket includes a FREE wristband to the Festival’s Activity Village. With over a dozen hands-on art stations where kids and grown-ups can get creative together. It’s not an add-on. It’s just included.
THE DETAILS
This year's lineup features award-winning artists and storytellers from around the world. Whether this is a brand new tradition for your family or one you've been doing for years, there's always something that surprises you.
Want a sneak peek before buying? Check out the Festival Video Teaser. Fair warning, the kids will be asking to go approximately 30 seconds in.
P.S. — Screen-free, wonder-filled, and totally worth it. The Festival runs May 25 -31, 2026 on Granville Island
