A Weekend of Wonder & Creativity

Over the Victoria Day Long Weekend, the Maury Young Arts Centre comes alive with 8 showstopping theatre performances and 13 hands-on creative workshops. Highlights include Yuki the Juggler, an award-winning Japanese Canadian circus performer, and Orbax and Pepper bringing their own unique blend of weird, mad science all the way from Toronto.

 

Plus, enjoy free activities every day of the festival, from roving street entertainment to Kids Karaoke and Stories on Wheels. New this year, the Bratz Biz Youth Market takes over Whistler Olympic Plaza, featuring one-of-a-kind crafts made by young local entrepreneurs.
