Calgary International Children's Festival bursts onto the scene each May, welcoming over 50,000 parents, children, teachers, and theatre-lovers each year. The Festival is a place where parents can share Calgary's vibrant arts and culture with their children, and the kids, young and old, can come to explore, discover, and expand their creative selves. As the creative thinkers of tomorrow, this offers an invaluable chance to experience the arts, often for the first time, in a fun, safe, and imaginative Festival environment.
