Sunshine, smiles, and a whole lot of fun! ☀️🎨🏰

It’s looking like a beautiful day this Saturday, so bring the whole family to the Yukon Arts Centre for the Midnight Sun Moppets Children’s Festival from 10am to 4pm!

Enjoy a day packed with activities including face painting, giant cardboard castle building, tie-dye t-shirts, art workshops, live performances, and plenty more family fun.

A quick note for tie-dye fans: due to a shortage of white t-shirts, please bring your own white shirt if you’d like to participate.

Come make some memories and get creative.
