* Visit the École des Pionniers de Maillardville tent for activities such as face painting, fun and interactive games and more! Meet Mexican artist Ana Martin Del Campo and local artist Ricky Patassini, who create amazing paper mâché art. Their workshops teach about paper mâché, recycled materials and drawing and painting with crayons, pencils and acrylics.

* Visit the Francophone Scouts of Maillardville tent for interactive activities during the whole week-end.

* During the weekend of March 3 & 4, enjoy a tour of historic Musée Mackin House Museum (open from 12 pm to 4 pm). Located directly opposite the festival site main entrance at Mackin Park, the Museum captures a slice of life in the early 1900s when Maillardville was first established. Mr. Mackin and his family lived in the house during his time as manager of Fraser Mills. The house has been restored and is full of interesting artifacts from that era.
