The Community Arts Workshop Society Invites You to Attend
The 15th Annual Alice in Wonderland Festival
Sunday July 12, 1:00 - 5:00 PM at Trout Lake Park

"Curiouser and Curiouser!"

Lewis Carroll's delightful characters come to life at The 15th Annual Vancouver Alice in Wonderland Festival July 12, 1:00 PM at Trout Lake Park. On that special Sunday the east side of Trout Lake Park becomes a enchanted "Wonderland" complete with an impossibly long 30 foot long table for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, giant tea pots, the Queen of Hearts Castle and dozens of characters roaming the Park in fantastical costumes.

This community festival boasts a cast of more than 50 actors and musicians including Gina Bastone, Dan Vie, Quei-Ming Lin, Christopher Sumpton, X, Jim Sands, The Carnival Band, Toot-A-Lute, Gamelan Madu Sari and The End Tree.

Come dressed up as your favorite Lewis Carroll character and travel with Alice as she meets Humpty Dumpty, the Dormouse, joins in the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, plays a wicked game croquet with the Queen of Hearts, learns life lessons from the Caterpillar and dances the Lobster Quadrille. It all in good fun!

This free event offers participatory fun for adults and children. Come in costume or kids can make masks and costumes on site at the Imagination Station. Meet knights in real armor, visit with Queen Victoria, exchange riddles with the Dormouse, have your picture taken by Lewis Carroll plus meet the real life ancestors of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell. Bring a family picnic and join in tea, biscuits and wild speculation at The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Don’t forget to bring your favorite pink flamingo. No tickets are required, just bring a smile and come down to the park.

In the case of inclement weather, the festival will occur at Trout Lake the following Sunday, July 19th at 1:00 PM.
