The full programme for the 30th Baboró International Arts Festival for Children will be live by Tuesday 1 September with tickets on sale Wednesday 2 September at 6pm. 

In the meantime we are delighted to share a sneak peek of the 2026 festival poster, illustrated by Shona Shirley Macdonald. This year’s programme includes a solo exhibition of Shona's book illustrations and other work called Shapeshifters, a fantastical visual journey through other worlds of myth, folktale, poetry and wonder.

The fabulous par Terre / Anne Nguyen Dance Company return with a new show, Witch Hunting, a captivating dance performance that is gripping, bold and poetic.

And for the little ones who would rather take part in the dancing themselves, we will have The Sticky Dance, a space to tape, stick and groove freely.

Our full programme of theatre, dance, workshops, visual art and much more will be available from Tuesday 1 September on baboro.ie.

Join us this October to celebrate our 30th festival from Friday 9 - Sunday 18 October.
