What is HarbourKIDS?
HarbourKIDS is the name Harbourfront Centre gives to FREE programming specifically designed for kids ages 5–12. The purpose of the programming is to present contemporary arts and culture from a kid's point of view, making it accessible for all ages. For example, each of our summer festivals offer Sunday afternoon kids programming from 1-3pm.
There are three festivals exclusively for HarbourKIDS each year: May (over the Victoria Day long weekend), October (over Thanksgiving long weekend) and December. As with all of our HarbourKIDS programming, the festivals are free-of-charge for everyone!
The HarbourKIDS festivals aim to engage kids and their families by encouraging their participation in activities that explore "Big Ideas" like respect, fearlessness and community through the lens of arts and culture. These Big Ideas challenge kids’ notions, validate and illuminate their values and ask some questions that aim to ignite imagination, creativity and thought.
