BOP Fest is a joyful, multi-arts dance performance crafted for children and their families in the Ottawa area. Kids will journey through five themed stations led with live music and a Pied Piper Dancer:

• Queen and Castle Courtiers,
• Doggie’s Delight,
• Topsy Turvy,
• Fanciful Flowers,
• & an Art Creation Station

Each station features a short dance performance followed by interactive movement where children can join in the fun! The experience ends with an art creation station where little ones can view Bella's art and be inspired to make their own!

BOP Fest celebrates contemporary inclusive dance, showcasing a talented, multigenerational cast of dancers of various abilities and a musician who improvises live.

Bella Bowes, a beloved dancer and educator, brings years of experience working with kids to this imaginative, participatory piece that’s all about creativity, connection, and wonder.

This is a free event. Come explore, dance, and imagine with us!

Tickets are free, but RSVPing helps us sprinkle enough magic and supplies for everyone to enjoy the adventure!

We gratefully acknowledge our generous funder the City of Ottawa
