Here is the breakdown of the Kid’s Fringe activities:
Daily Activity Stations:
- Kids Stage with daily performances

The KidsFringe location for the second year is: The Old Strathcona Community League – 10139-87 Avenue. Here the kids will find a playground, splash park, and it’s own venue for the kids theatre – so you are able to enjoy all of the children’s programming under one roof. Kids will receive a passport when they arrive to help explore the site. When they complete the passport they will receive a special treat! See more details on the KidsFringe here.
