FOR THE KIDS

Our family-friendly festival offers activities forall ages.  Kids can enjoy the animal nursery, guided pony rides, face-painting, inflatables, craft corner and simple sideshows.  Because we don’t charge an admission fee for kids, our suppliers reserve the right to charge fees for their services.

LIVE MUSIC

Great live music is always peppered in between the chilli challenges on stage. Once again, we have the guitar maestro, Sean Mullen, gracing our stage, playing some hot guitar (and even some Joe Satriani tunes).  He’ll also be joined by Sandra Beynon on vocals.

DANCE PERFORMANCES

We strive to engage with as many local community groups as possible so they can be part of the fun. 

We look for dancers, performing artists and anything else that will add value to the program.
