Tickets for the ninth-annual Surrey Children’s Festival are on sale now at the Surrey Arts Centre box office, 13750 88 Ave.
Six ticketed headline performances will take place May 23–25 for $10 each, and an all-access pass is available for Saturday (May 25) for $12. Entrance to the festival is free, as are many community performances and art activities.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring these world-class children’s performers together in one place,” said Surrey mayor Dianne Watts.
“We recognize that parents are looking for inspiring and enriching cost effective activities for their kids and the Surrey Children’s Festival provides just that.”
This year’s line-up of performers ranges from a preschool performance from Australia, Grug, and Alberta circus performers The Chairmen.
Medicine Bear is dance theatre from Toronto at its finest, while Grand Dérangement gets kids moving with Acadian music from Nova Scotia.
The Spirit of Harriet Tubman from Ontario and a film from the U.K., The Itch of the Golden Nit, round out festival’s ticketed performances.
“This international festival grows in popularity each year and is a great way to inspire young hearts and minds and celebrate the City’s rich and diverse culture through performing and visual arts experiences,” said Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the city’s Culture Development Advisory Committee.
Tickets can also be purchased on site during the festival, though there is a limited number of all-access passes available.
