2025 marks a milestone—the 40th anniversary of the Ottawa Children’s Festival de la Jeunesse! Since 1985, we have brought world-class theatre, music, and dance to over 1 million children, educators, and families,fostering creativity and imagination in young minds.
To celebrate, we are moving to a new home at Lansdowne Park and the Horticulture Building, making the festival even more accessible and vibrant!
However, as a non-profit arts organization, we face funding challenges. We are committed to keeping ticket prices affordable and showcasing outstanding Canadian and International talent, ensuring every child, regardless of background, has access to the magic of live performance.
