WAYO 3rd Annual Children's Festival

August 18 - 19 - 20, 2022
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH:
Berkeley Castle & Canadian Stage
LOCATION:
Berkeley Castle & Berkeley Theatre

Toronto's only children's parkour festival for the arts, Wayo, was an invitation to uncover a world of wonders for children and their families. Designed as a whimsical journey through the Berkeley Castle and Berkeley Theatre with arts happenings at every turn, this unique experience was filled up with music, dance, crafts, storytelling and more!

With Wayo, children and their families stepped into a magical arts experience while engaging in conversations around social, and environmental justice issues that impact our local and global communities. Wayo featured amazing artists including dancer Raoul Wilke, singer and musician Aline Morales, hoop dancer Valentina Morelli, storyteller Monique Diabo and many more!

"My daughter saw the time keeper dancing and told me she’s going to dance like that! She LOVED the drums - I almost couldn’t get her to move on. She wanted to heal the cracks in the water (which almost meant touch the water lol) and added that love will heal the water."
- Audience Member

"Wayo is now the highlight of the summer for my daughter. She raves about it to her friends and teachers at daycare!"
