WHAT IS KIDS TAKE OVER UBC?
Kids Take Over UBC is an open-door arts and culture festival for families to enjoy UBC’s world-class assets and public spaces together while interacting with artists, musicians and more. The event features on-campus museums, cultural amenities, faculties, and student organizations coming together to offer family-friendly activities that showcase their unique talents, skills and interests. Hosted annually since 2018, this festival was inspired by Takeover Day, first launched in the UK to celebrate children and young people’s contributions to museums, galleries, arts organizations, archives, and heritage sites.
This year marks the 7th edition of Kids Take Over UBC. Families are invited to explore their way across campus through a variety of arts & culture activities for all ages, including storytelling, cultural craft and STEM workshops, guided tours, live performances, and much more. In addition, this year features a new outdoor zone at Lee Square, with live musical and dance performances on stage throughout the day.
