GFT’s annual celebration of arts for young audiences returns for its fifth summer in the park! With a focus on international and multicultural stories, this year’s Family Fest features free performances in a variety of art forms along with hands-on activities in music, literacy, and more. Family Fest invites children from toddlers to teens to explore their creativity and offers families a free fun-filled festival where kids can learn, play, and discover the joy of performing arts.
The 2026 Festival starts Friday July 10 with our anchor production of The Three Musketeers by The Lakeside Players, with a pre-show performance by Jay9 Dance Centre. Over the weekend, The Three Musketeers will perform nightly at 6pm, with multicultural daytime activities, performances, and activations including returning acts such as Spirit of Africa, Poesy, and Scarborough Uke Jam! New faces at Family Fest include storytelling, music and dance with Hi Blue Butterfly, Rubena Sinha, Mâmawin’towin: A Métis Kitchen Party, and many more!
Guild Festival Theatre’s 2026 Season is presented by ARC Insurance & Financial Services Inc.
