Kidzfest has a lot of entertainments for kids like SpongeBob, My little pony, the Grinch who stole Christmas, and much more. Aside from that, there were also bouncy castles, cotton candy stands, and a tumble bus. There was always a long line for any game or activity everywhere you go. There’s also a lot of walking characters, one of them was a Tim Horton’s cup! Voice K interviewed one of the organizers named Cheryll Diego.
“To get the weather to be nice is the hardest part of setting up this festival,” said Diego.

Leo with the Lego Man Aside from the walking characters and the activities, there were also a lot of shows. The one we liked the best is a pirate magic show. Two pirates performed and asked for volunteers in the audience to help them with their magic show. . One cool trick that I really liked was the one were the captain takes an empty bag and pulls out a bunch of huge things. . How is that cool? Well, the bag was the size of a small McDonald’s take out bag!
After the magic show, I saw another performance by the famous toy brand, Lego. “Lego has been performing for almost 40 years! Lego started in 1970 and has been very popular. Even I still like Lego,” said Jodel Jimenez, the Lego volunteer. Lego is surely a favorite when it comes to kids like me, it’s a lot of fun.
“The fun thing about being a performer is talking and interacting with kids,” said Jimenez.
I also got to talk to one of the people in the audience named Rosemary Asir.
“I’ve been to over 30 festivals and my favorite one is the winter fair,” said Asir.
“It feels nice to be an audience member because you can just sit down and relax while you watch the performers,” said Asir. Very true! It was such a great experience watching different characters perform.
Another thing that got the kids’ attention was cotton candy machine. A lot of kids were interested about how the person who makes the cotton candy. The vendor just twirls the cotton candy onto a small, thin paper cone. I learned that the cotton candy is soft and sticky that’s why it sticks to the cone.
Kidzfest is like a dream come true, full of toys and laughs! If you’re a kid just like me or a kid at heart, come to the next kidzfest and have some fun!
