Festival Plaza is set to transform into a wonderland of nature play with The Wild Weekend — a free and immersive outdoor experience created by the award-winning team at Climbing Tree Creations.

Editors update: Due to predicted severe weather, this event has been postponed:

“While Climbing Tree likes to promote getting out in all weather, the forecast for this weekend is looking a little too wild for The Wild Weekend and so we have made the decision to postpone until a later date. 

We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to The Wild Weekend so far. It’s clear to us that families are looking for looking for an event like this, which means we are even more committed to bringing it to light when the weather is on our side.

Stay tuned for updates via Climbing Tree socials for more information.” – Climbing Tree

Kids aged 2 to 12 are invited to unleash their imagination and adventurous spirit in a pop-up play space filled with interactive fun over the June long weekend — rain, hail or shine

“The Wild Weekend is all about encouraging kids to play outdoors in winter,” says Simon Hutchinson, Director of Climbing Tree.
“Just because the weather might be a little wild doesn’t mean kids can’t let their adventurous spirit run free! For us, there’s no such thing as bad weather — only bad clothing.”

So, rug up and head to Festival Plaza for a unique, screen-free adventure designed to help kids think, move and explore in a beautifully crafted nature space.
