Children’s Festivals are designed for children ages 5 to 10 and are open to everyone in the community. Parents are warmly encouraged to participate alongside their children.
The aim of these festivals is twofold: on one hand, to provide a joyful space where children can learn about universal spiritual principles and virtues; and on the other, to offer youth an opportunity to engage in meaningful service by thoughtfully supporting and encouraging the younger children in their neighbourhood.
We hope these gatherings create an environment where people from diverse religious, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds can come together, interact, and build stronger bonds of unity, care, and mutual support. Participants are warmly invited to bring a quote, song, prayer, a piece of art their children have created, or anything else they would like to share with others related to the theme of the festival.
