The circus doesn’t just come back to town at Harbourfront Centre, it kicks off our exciting summer festival season! Teaming up with the Zero Gravity Circus, HarbourKIDS celebrates the 10th annual Toronto International Circus Festival with programming fit for the big top.
This year’s key word is whimsy – silliness, capriciousness, fantasy, frivolity and fun: all ways to describe the HarbourKIDS festival experience. It’s a reminder to not take everything so seriously all the time. This Victoria Day weekend, let the circus bring a little whimsy into your life with side-splitting comedy, eye-popping acrobatics, mind-bending daredevils; jugglers, magicians, stilt-walkers and much more!
Full event information is attached. Festival highlights include:
- Zero Gravity Circus’s acrobatic hijinx
- Physical Theatre Workshops with Wonderbolt Circus
- Stand Up Dance’s Family Dance Parties for dancers of all ages
Harbourfront Centre’s summer festival season begins with the Toronto International Circus Festival and ends with HarbourKIDS: Folk on Thanksgiving weekend (Oct. 6-8). In between, a series of festivals and events offer The World in One Place, exploring ideas in contemporary culture, bringing together rich, artistic traditions from our own backyards and around the globe.

STOP SMOKING @ Power To Change Hypnosis1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The 3-hour Stop Smoking Workshop incorporates many useful techniques to resolve any emotions attached to cigarettes. Our experience shows that smokers smoke to satisfy an emotional need. Because the emotions are satisfied, smoking continues until it becomes a habit. We have not seen anyone who smoke just for the sake of smoking. There is always a reason why someone smokes, whether the smoker is aware of it or not.
Call 905.593.1556 for more information or visit www.PowerToChangeHypnosis.com/workshops.htm
We look forward to your becoming a NON-SMOKER FOR LIFE!
Register for your seat today. Limited seating.
