The Vancouver International Children’s Festival<\/a> is running full force. \u00a0In addition to the fantastic concerts there are loads of activities to take part in: circus tent, face painting, magic shows, musical performers, arts & crafts and so much more.<\/p>\n

We started our 2014 Kids Fest experience with Fred Penner<\/a>…and it was a pj party. \u00a0I must say I was rather surprised\u00a0that my husband and I, and one other mom, were the\u00a0only adults in pjs. \u00a0Who doesn’t want an acceptable excuse to climb into jammies early?!<\/p>\n

Many little ones were dressed up in their snuggly clothes. \u00a0They may have been dressed for bed but they were ready to party! \u00a0The floor in front of the stage quickly turned into a pint-sized mosh pit. \u00a0Fred Penner is a super-star children’s performer; no amount of chaos interrupted the flow of his performance.<\/p>\n

The audience was treated to a\u00a0number of new songs as well as the favourites from our childhood. \u00a0Many audience members were singing along to hits like: Sandwiches, Puff the Magic Dragon, The Cat Came Back, You Are My Sunshine and so many more.<\/p>\n

The Vancouver International Children’s Festival<\/a> runs all weekend long (closing June 1st) at Granville Island<\/a>. \u00a0There are still tickets available for some performances. \u00a0We are going to the Variety Show tonight; I eagerly anticipate this event every year. \u00a0Watch for my review tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
