We’re heading into the Whistler Children’s Festival’s 37th anniversary!
COME PLAY WITH US! JULY 10-12, 2020
Each summer, the heart of Whistler Village is transformed as tents, balloons, stages and circus acts populate the Great Lawn at Whistler Olympic Plaza for the annual Whistler Children’s Festival. There’s fun for the whole family in this action-packed weekend of creativity. With dozens of hands-on crafts, live musical performances and a host of activities, kids and adults alike can let their imaginations run wild!
“Can we go to the Whistler Children’s Festival every weekend?”

History
The Whistler Children’s Festival is Arts Whistler’s longest-running program and a signature annual event, celebrating its 36th birthday in 2019. From its first home at Myrtle Philip Elementary School, it grew into needing a bigger space at Whistler’s Creekside. We moved to our new home in Whistler Olympic Plaza in 2013 with assistance and support from the Resort Municipality of Whistler. With this move, the festival was able to double its capacity, offering a larger and more diverse lineup of workshops and performances.
