There’s more in store than ever before to help celebrate BC Family Day during this year’s Children’s Arts Festival in Richmond.
The city has expanded the line up of activities and musical performances to include the Sonic Garden, a day-long celebration Feb. 9 at the Richmond Cultural Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Also on tap during the festival is the acclaimed Beijing Shadow Play Art Troupe and hands-on plasticine art workshops with Governor General Award-winning children’s author/illustrator Barbara Reid.
Inspired by her book, Picture a Tree, children will create their own plasticine art page that will become part of the first ever Children’s Arts Festival digital book. Cost of this special workshop is $15 per child and includes festival admission.
General Festival Admission is $5 per person which provides drop-in access to all of the performances and Imagination Stations, a range of activities that includes yarn bombing, spray art, personalized licence plates, the Tinker’s Box and Enchanted Hats.
