High spirits and good cheer are promised by the annual Children's Festival in Bolzano, held in the garden of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio and on the Lungo Talvera Promenade near the centre. Here you will meet jugglers, clowns, musicians, actors, street artists and puppeteers who turn the heart of the town upside down during the festival.

There are music and workshops, and various associations enrich the festival with culinary treats and a lottery. Furthermore, there is an annual stage programme that encourages participation. There are always new features, such as South Tyrolean authors presenting their books in 2024, or the Teatro Cristallo offering a circus programme.

In 2026, you meet Bobby the little monkey again, and the Museion invites to 'Mini Graffiti' (ages 4-10) and 'Graffiti Future' (ages 12-15): creative workshops that use aesthetics to project ideas of the future. And there's a place where books whisper fairy tales...

All in all, the Bolzano Kinderfestival is an experience for the whole family. It is under the patronage of the Town of Bolzano and the European Region Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino and is a partner of the Cristallo Theatre. Food and drink are provided by the KINDERgasthaus, serving daily lunch and dinner with specialities from Rolli's Grill. Further information: info@kinderfestival.it.
