Kids’ imaginations can run wild at the North Okanagan Children’s Festival.
The second annual event took over the Vernon and District Performing Arts building and parking lot to create a world where you can be anything you want from a magical princess to a pink bunny rabbit, and even a cotton candy-eating strawberry.
“This is a two day festival where theres performances inside and out,” said Sheri Kunzli, Vernon Community Arts Centre marketing coordinator. “It’s amazing we have had really good weather and it’s been super busy.”
Kunzli says thousands of people of all ages have come to the festival that took place March 18 and 19. Offering everything from food trucks to arts and crafts and more.
“It’s just so amazing for the kids to be able to experience arts, culture and science,” said Dione Chambers, Okanagan Science Centre executive director.
“It’s an opportunity for them to get out and play.”
