Psst… this might be the calmest corner of the festival. 🤫🧸✨

Introducing our Baby Zone — one of the beautiful features we introduced last year and are so excited to bring back again this September at the North Shore Kids Fest! 💛

Festivals can be loud, exciting, energetic… and sometimes little humans (and their grown-ups too 😄) just need a softer space to pause, breathe, cuddle, regulate, feed, recharge, or simply take a quiet moment away from the buzz.

Because creating an inclusive festival means thinking about ALL kids — including our youngest visitors, sensitive little souls, neurodivergent children, and families who may need a gentler experience throughout the day.

At the North Shore Kids Fest, everyone belongs. 💫

We’re proud to continue building a festival that is playful, welcoming, community-centered, and designed with care for families of all ages and stages.

Tiny humans welcome. Always. 👶🎈

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who make the world feel safer, warmer, louder, brighter… and somehow always have snacks in their bags. 💛

At the North Shore Kids Fest, we see it every year — moms dancing at the stage, carrying tired little humans on their shoulders, doing crafts, chasing bubbles, fixing shoes, wiping ice cream faces, cheering the loudest, and creating the kind of childhood memories that stay forever.

Play, laughter, connection, messy hands, big hugs, tiny adventures — this is what childhood is made of. And behind so many of those moments, there is a mom (or a mother figure) making the magic happen.

Today we celebrate you. The organizers. The comforters. The multitaskers. The memory-makers. The “just one more ride” champions. 😄

Thank you for raising kind humans, building community, and showing up with love — even on the busiest days.
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at North Shore Kids Fest & the Wonder Wanderers Foundation 🌸✨

Communities raise confident kids.⭐️

We’re grateful to North Vancouver School District Trustee Lailani Tumaneng for recognizing the role spaces like Kids Fest play in supporting children’s growth beyond the classroom.

School trustees see firsthand how important it is for families to access programs, activities, and safe environments where kids can learn, connect, and thrive.

That’s exactly what we’re building together.

It’s International Women’s Day!🌷

Across the North Shore and beyond, we see incredible women who build community, support families, and create spaces where children can grow, play, and feel they belong.

Today, we celebrate the women who dedicate their time, energy, and hearts to making initiatives like the Wonder Wanderers Foundation and the North Shore Kids Festival possible.

Community doesn’t happen by accident — it’s created by people who care enough to show up, collaborate, and give back.🫂

Thank you to all the volunteers, partners, mothers, business women, and community leaders who help bring joy, connection, and opportunities to children and families.🌸🌷

Together, we are building a stronger, kinder community. 💛

With gratitude,
