Creating an inclusive festival means looking beyond physical space and ensuring that every member of a family — parents, caregivers, children, and youth — has a place where they feel welcome, supported, and able to participate fully. At the Kootenay Wellness Festival, this includes creating environments where families can engage at their own pace: adults can join workshops, rest, learn, and connect without worrying about childcare, while children have a safe, interactive, and engaging space designed with their needs in mind.
 

The Pharatree Kids Zone is a key part of that commitment: a festival within the festival, created especially for kids. By offering a supervised, imaginative environment, we help ensure that parents and caregivers can participate fully in the wider festival, knowing their little ones are enjoying a meaningful experience of their own.
