Some
attractions do it naturally, like the Toronto Zoo. Others have traditions where
the two come together, such as the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) or the
Toronto Santa Claus Parade, but the planned combination festivals are truly
special! I think one of the best events that we have attended for this
combination is the Mississauga Waterfront Festival (2007). Its activities
offered a wide range for all visitors. For the children, the Kid’s Stage
feature Barney and Friends plus a cast of other children entertainers. For
adults, there was an Ojibwa Storyteller, Native Dancers and Chinese Arts
performers. Their greatest achievement, however, was in combining activities
that appealed to both groups. these activities included the McCann Super Dogs,
the West Coast Lumberjack Show, the Jet Ski Stunt Show and the Skyriders
Trampoline Show. I believe that most festivals should be for the whole family
to enjoy. Festivals that accomplish this well will win the festival visitor
“sweepstakes!
