I haven't been since I've had my own kids! They're just at ages now where they'll really love it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely--it's tons of fun! Good luck!
DeleteThe kids love going, so much fun!

It really is such a great festival--so much fun to go to something that doesn't just have a kids' corner, but it designed entirely for them. :)
DeleteWe'd love to go - at 5, Megan is the perfect age to take to festivals and events!
ReplyDeleteFive would be great! However, we really enjoyed it last year & Sprout wasn't even two yet--there are still quite a few things to do with kids who are under five too! He liked the shadow puppets, Twist & Toddle, the noisemaker area, not to mention the giant mouse (rat?) mascot that was there. Gave it three big hugs before we could get him away. :)
DeleteI would love to drag hubby to this!! The kids would love it lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's tons of fun--you really need to go this year!
Deleteoooh la la, Ive never been. This should be fun.

There will be fun stuff for your little one too--check out Twist & Toddle, definitely!
DeleteOh Great! I really want to take my 2 yr old and hubby! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been to anything like this before and I have tweeted to let all my friends join me :)
DeleteIt's a lot of fun--can't wait to go again this year too!
DeleteIt's my first year having a kid! He's still pretty little, but he'll most likely have figured out his walking by the end of the month (he's SO close) and he'd love to look at everything. I don't think one is two young...
ReplyDeleteThe performances are geared toward older kids, but there are still a few things that might interest him. You should go with Taylor & Savannah--they'd love it!
DeleteI haven't been since I was a kid in Winnipeg. Time to take my 2 boys!
ReplyDeleteYes! They'll love it!
DeleteI've never been and I'm sure it's LOTS fun =)
ReplyDeleteI found it really incredible to be at a festival that is ENTIRELY devoted to children. It's not like the kids tent/afterthought in the corner at so many other festivals, the entire thing is really well planned & programmed so that children from just a few months old up to the end of elementary school will LOVE it.
DeleteI have lived in Vancouver my whole life and have never been! My little guy loves music, so it would be awesome to go.
ReplyDeleteWhaaaat? You need to go!
DeleteI am keen to introduce my almost 4 year old son (and 2 year old daughter) to as much positive activity as I can find. He comes home from daycare with Star Wars and Angry Birds knocking and shooting actions. So on all the non-daycare days, I am looking for the more happy activities like this. I have never been before, but anticipate some great times.
ReplyDeleteYup, I can guarantee you this will be an Angry-Birds-free experience! It's a really great event--especially for a four-year-old--but your daughter will still find some fun things to do too. :)
DeleteI want to go because it was fantastic last year, even in the pouring rain. With the weather we've been having lately (*fingers crossed*), it'll be even better!
ReplyDeleteWe managed to get sun both days that we went last year, but it always rains at least some of the time it seems... Most of the activities are under tents though, so it's still doable even in a downpour. & if you spring for the extra show tickets, the venues are mainly theatres & buildings, so they're totally dry inside. :)
DeleteI've never been and it sounds like a great day out as a family. Although my girl's still a bit young for all the events, I have no doubt that she'd love it. I anticipate chasing her around a fair bit. :)
ReplyDeleteSprout was only about 21 months last time we went & he had a few hours of fun there each day. :) I bet little Monita will enjoy it!
