JUNIOR, Harbourfront Centre’s annual international children’s festival, brings imaginative entertainment and events back to Toronto’s waterfront from May 20 to 22, 2023.
Cultivating a love and appreciation for the performing arts is one of the best ways to enrich a child’s life, and introduce them to ideas and culture from around the world. JUNIOR offers a full slate that includes performances, workshops and other inclusive events designed for the whole family.
There are both free and ticketed events that will take place both indoors and outdoors across Harbourfront Centre’s 10-acre location on Toronto’s waterfront.
“As we grow up, we explore the land on which we live, the stories that surround us, the cultures that educate and speak to us — in short, we discover who we are,” says Lisa Marie DiLiberto, JUNIOR co-curator in a statement. “JUNIOR offers an unparalleled opportunity for children and their families to explore how expanding our minds and perspectives is life’s greatest adventure. The artistically diverse and multidisciplinary festival line-up offers a wide range of free and accessible activities where children can make their own discoveries.”
This multimedia performance and story follows a child on a spectacular imaginary adventure through the cosmos as he helps a star find its way home. The performance features original music, projections, and lasers for an immersive experience. Patch Theatre is a professional company that has been entertaining children and their families in Adelaide since 1972.
