Children's Art Festival

Running for over 22 years, the Kamloops Children’s Arts Festival is a fun-filled, creative day of artistic, musical and theatrical activities and performances for children ages 2 to 12. The entire day is FREE for children and their families. This year's theme is Fun in the Cosmos!

This spectacular festival is back for 2025! This year’s festival will feature all those loved activities from previous years – workshops, storytelling, magic, and performances from local groups! It is going to be a festival filled with fun, with a bonus Children's Art Workshop on Friday, September 19!

Thanks to their supporters, the Children’s Arts Festival is 100% free to the public. This means the event sees a wide cross-section of the community, including children and families who may not otherwise be able to afford to participate in extracurricular arts activities.

Participating in the arts can have a tremendous impact on developmental growth. Learning artistic skills strengthens problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. It’s also a lot of fun – maybe too much fun for some!
