Look back: Canada Kids Festival 2018
Singers, dancers and young models: relive the talent and fashion show from our 2018 festival.
Before the film festival, there was the Canada Kids Festival — a day where young people took the stage to sing, dance and walk the runway. We've brought our 2018 videos over from our YouTube channel so you can relive it.
The talent show
Solo singers, young guitarists and group performances filled the stage, from pop and hip hop songs to Bhangra, Bollywood and contemporary dance. Some of the performances even had the judges on their feet.
The fashion show
Young models showed off their styles and their confidence on the runway, in outfits from everyday cool to full stage get-ups.
Special guests
Members of Toronto City Council also stopped by to meet the kids and families.
