The Hospital Outreach program provides a much-needed respite for the 300 or more children who can benefit from the Festival programming without having to leave their facilities or interrupt their treatment. The smiles of delight on the faces of children, who for even one hour, can forget about their illness or physical challenge, are a testament to the value of this program.

This past year, because of COVID -19, we brought the festival to BC Children’s Hospital, Canuck Place and Sunny Hill Health Centre via Zoom for a one hour performance with Charlotte Diamond, Splash 'N Boots and RupLoops. Help us share the Festival spirit and the healing power of music, dance and laughter!
