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. Last year, however, it regained its essence and brought us many novelties. 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 2023 edition of the Children's Festival
In this edition, the great novelty is the mini space, dedicated exclusively to early childhood. This space will become the meeting point for babies and children up to 4 years old, offering games specifically adapted to their needs. A highlight among the attractions is "El Jardín de los Pequeños", a playroom carefully designed so that the little ones can enjoy play and learning spaces designed especially for them.
