The Children's Festival has been held in Barcelona since 1963, although in recent years it has had other names and a somewhat different philosophy. However, two years ago it has regained its essence. At the Children's Festival, children from 0 to 12 years of age enjoy games and workshops, practice sports, get close to the world of art, culture and technology, and learn about the value of solidarity.
About the 2024 edition
This year's edition of the Children's Festival presents as a novelty La Juguetería solidaria, a magical space within the Festival where you will find a wide variety of toys from different brands. It is called Solidarity Toy Shop because, once used, the toys will be donated to children in vulnerable situations. This action, in addition to offering fun during the festival, will promote values such as solidarity and generosity.
In this year's Children's Festival you will find activities for all ages, a space for early childhood, a stage with performances aimed at children and another one aimed at young audiences.
Mini Space
The Mini Space presents El Jardín de los Pequeños, a special toy library for children from 0 to 4 years old, focused on heuristic and symbolic play, memory and psychomotor skills.
For families to have maximum comfort, there will be a stroller parking and a breastfeeding room to enjoy the party without worries.
Activities for all ages
Interactive and playful experiences for all ages, ranging from the exciting "Scalextric Circuit", where children can compete and see who reaches the finish line first, to the fun of the "Makeup Dressing Room", a space where they can transform themselves with creativity. The little ones will enjoy driving vintage cars in "Get in and drive a vintage car", while exploring a city to suit them.
The "Mercats de Bcn" offers creative workshops that invite you to experiment. Adventurers can enjoy the "Adventure Circuit", which challenges balance and skill, or explore the labyrinth in "Don't let the net tangle you".
Sensory creativity is present at the Children's Festival with the "Sensory Space" and "Forbidden not to touch". Both promote discovery through touch and the senses. It will also be possible to learn about physics in "We learn about aerodynamics" and about road safety in "Learn the rules of driving".
Among the artistic experiences, children will be able to build in "We build the central towers", paint in "Paint with Casa Tarradellas", and explore their imagination in "The Infinite City". For those looking for purely physical fun, "Inflatable Sports" and "American Track" guarantee active entertainment.
Finally, the Christmas spirit is celebrated with activities such as "Page real", where children can deliver their letter to the Three Wise Men, and "The Wishing Tree", to leave their mark of hope.
The mini stage
This program of activities on stage designed for the youngest children combines music, theater and storytelling for family enjoyment and to encourage children's creativity.
"Música vitamina en Familia" by Rockin' Moon offers a musical journey that connects the whole family through rhythm and harmony. "I'm Not Afraid" by Kali Teatre invites children to face their fears through games and a nighttime story under the guidance of the Moon. There will also be "Animal Sound" by Rockin' Moon, a show of musical and body stimulation, where children participate and sing to the rhythm of sounds inspired by animals. To culminate the cycle, Moi Aznar presents "Explícame una navidad", a warm space in which stories and carols are shared, accompanied by guitar, while spaces are decorated with Christmas motifs.
