Many of our guests are families with two or more kids. Parents travelling with young children prefer modern furnished home rentals that let them spread out and make good use of large, private and quiet outdoor spaces. When it’s time to venture out into the Kitsilano neighbourhood, there are plenty of kid-friendly festivals and craft markets. One of the most kid-friendly annual events for is Vancouver International Children’s Festival.
The Vancouver International Children’s Festival takes place May 28-June 3, 2018 on Granville Island, just a thirty minute walk from Avalon Guest Suite & Coach House. This Granville Island festival for young children features a small interactive circus, indoor theatre shows, and storytelling performances. Plus puppet shows, kid’s music, and dance ensembles. There is an Activity Village that features paper crafts, face painting, and more.
Keep in mind that this is a popular festival. Activity wristbands and show passes may sell out. If you know you want to attend the event, order Granville Island festival for kids tickets, online. Also, parking is limited. Consider planning your transit route to Granville Island or going on a thirty-minute walk from Avalon Guest Suite & Coach House to the venue.
