PlayLab: Kitchen Party

Celebrate National Acadian Day in PlayLab with the energy of a kitchen party.

This all-ages, hands-on drop-in invites visitors to explore Acadian music traditions through fiddle-inspired sounds, group music-making, and the rhythmic pulse of spoon playing.

Drop in and take part in lively, collaborative music-making that shows how rhythm, movement, and song bring people together.

PlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings, wind, percussion, and electronic instruments, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch, volume, timbre, and vibration. Pluck a string, strike a drum, blow into an organ, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely, explore freely, and learn how musicians turn sound into music.

*PlayLab is made possible with support from the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation.*
