Celebrate one of the Essential 100 films, The Wizard of Oz, as TIFF recreates the movie’s magic with fun family activities.

A free block party to celebrate the opening of TIFF Bell Lightbox on September 12, 2010. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., TIFF offers an exciting array of programming for all ages in the heart of the entertainment district, right on King Street (between John and Peter streets).

11:00 am – 4:00 pm Family Fun Zone

Take a stroll down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City bouncy castle to jump way above the chimney tops.

Be sure to stop along the way for face painting by the Lollipop Guild.

Step behind the wizard’s curtain and have it captured at a photo booth.

Visit the craft table to make a Wizard of Oz prop - a witch’s wand, or perhaps a badge of courage.

Be sure to check out The Twisted Ones as they get creative with balloons.

Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow, will be attending the party plus a few magician friends from Magicana.
