ARTSHINE
Artshine was founded to share the joy of creating art with children and adults across Canada. Founder Paul Field is an artist and entrepreneur who is dedicated to helping others live better lives through art. From his background in social work, Paul knows the good that art education brings, from building confidence to facilitating emotional healing.
Join us at one of Artshine's Make & Take Booths for a crafty and fun family-friendly art project that you can take home with you!
REAL FUTBOL
Real Futbol was created for families who want more than activity. Players need thoughtful coaching, clear feedback, purposeful training, and an environment that helps them understand what they are working toward.
We built Real Futbol as a home for that kind of development: a place where players are challenged and supported, families feel connected to the journey, and every experience can contribute to long-term growth.
They will be running an interactive booth for kids at Bestival!

EarlyON WATERLOO "LOOSE PARTS" PLAY
EarlyON Waterloo Region is excited to be part of Bestival this year! Come visit us at the “loose parts” tent in the Children's Area. What are “loose parts” you wonder? “Loose parts are natural objects or materials which provide children with endless opportunities to build on their play”. Children learn through play and are encouraged to explore materials that support creativity, problem solving and mathematical behaviours. At EarlyON, our early learning environments are set up for open-ended exploration that supports these growing skills which are foundational for literacy and instill a love of learning. We are bringing this play opportunity to Bestival this year, we invite families to stop by and play with us!
