In the Little Folks Village we like to think of ourselves as a festival within a festival, a place where you can unleash your creative spirit and engage all your senses. In our little corner of the Park, the whole family can play together and enjoy hands-on activities all while being entertained.

STORYTELLING SALMON
This year the festival has some big fish to fry as a giant inflatable salmon has beached at Jericho Park. This giant creation is part of Evelyn Roth’s Nylon Zoo. This colourful West Coast Salmon will take your little ones on a magical journey. Children can don costumes and listen to the stories from inside the salmon’s belly in an imaginary ocean.
Located in the children’s area and open on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 6pm.
