What we do
A character visit is the memory the birthday child keeps
A princess arriving at the door, a superhero joining the games, a mascot waving at a store opening: the visit is short, but it is the part the children talk about afterwards. The performer stays in character for the whole visit, greets each child, runs a story or an activity and joins the cake and the photos.
Event Creation books character performers and mascots for birthdays, baptisms, community events, store openings and family days across Toronto and the GTA. Character and mascot appearances are listed on this website from $200.
Characters are original performer-created personas inspired by popular themes: princesses, fairies, superheroes, pirates, mermaids and more. Tell us the theme and we match a performer.

Story or activity
A story, a sing-along, a simple craft or a game led by the character.
Cake moment

Venues
Character visits at home, in halls and at openings
Home parties across the GTA are the usual setting: the character arrives at the front door and the party pauses. Halls and community centres give room for a story circle and a photo line.
Store openings, malls and festivals in Toronto, Mississauga and Vaughan book mascots with a handler to work the crowd and pose for photos.
Characters need a space to change and a clear moment to arrive; mascots need a handler path through the crowd and breaks in warm weather.
