This multi-artist show is live-streamed to your school in real time, hearing directly from musical guests sharing from their own traditions; Chris McKhool, Ernie & Maryem Tollar, Aviva Chernick, Suba Sankaran & Dylan Bell, Silk Road Music, Shannon Thunderbird & Sandy Horne!

Inspired by travels around the world, Chris McKhool and friends celebrate the multicultural mosaic of our country with songs about Bodhi Day (Buddhist), Carnival (Quebec), Chanukah, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Diwali, Kwanzaa (Pan-African), Indigenous Traditions, Ramadan & Eid and Winter Solstice. Celebrate! is a window into many cultures from around the world and provides young audiences with a glimpse into the different customs, celebrations and festivities enjoyed in Canada. Traditional and original songs by Chris encourage us to share with our neighbours and friends and celebrate together!

“Many have tried but none have come as close to capturing what it means to truly celebrate multiculturalism as Chris McKhool. The Toronto singer-songwriter epitomizes what many Canadians have come to love about this country.”
– Deanne Fisher, City Parent

December 31 at 7:00 PM EST – Join our NYE Kids ZOOM where we will sing a few songs, have a dance party, a zany science experiment, and have a Kids Countdown! Featuring guest dancer Tamar Ilana and drummer Chendy Leon!

This is over ZOOM, which is awesome because it is interactive, and we will be able to see and hear you, and you can see and hear us, and you can all see each other as well! It is a real show in a safe, moderated environment.

Tickets are FREE but you need to reserve them here so we can create a safe moderated ZOOM ROOM to party in! https://kids-new-years-eve-zoom-party.eventbrite.ca

“I love New Years Eve, and I wanted to do something nice for all the families struggling with what to do with their kids. I wanted to find a fun and safe way for me, my wife, and 9 year old daughter to celebrate First Night with her friends and neighbours,” says McKhool. 

“The idea grew from there and now we are extending the invitation across the country for families to join with us. We will sing a few songs, have a dance party, a zany science experiment, and drumming. This will be on Zoom so we can see each other and celebrate together!”
