Expect high-energy, interactive performances bursting with music, storytelling, and laughter.

Families can step into the magic of Squidge and Pop’s bubble wonderland, and encounter Daniel, an 8ft roaming puppet created by Luke Brown Company, symbolizing resilience and hope. Gently wandering through the festival, Daniel shares dandelions — each carrying a message of positivity and peace.
