Over 10 days thousands of children and grown ups of all ages flocked to theatres, libraries, schools, galleries and community spaces throughout Galway.

Together we wrapped ourselves in little monsters, let our imaginations take flight, searched for mysterious birds and found humour in the strange antics of grown ups.

Thank you to every child, parent, guardian and teacher who bring Baboró to life every year. This is your festival and it is a great joy to share it with you.

To the artists, casts and crews from Ireland and around the world who converged on Galway for our 2024 Festival: thank you for sharing your gifts with Baboró audiences!

Thank you to our festival team who work so hard and volunteer their valuable time to help us deliver a festival that connected children, artists, families, schools and communities.

Thank you to all of our generous funders and supporters who provide essential funding to sustain the festival and help us to provide free and accessible events for children in the region.

Baboró is funded by The Arts Council of Ireland and Galway City and County Councils. This year’s festival has been supported by our Irish Language Partner, Cúla4; Literature Partner, Charlie Byrnes and Sustainable Print Partner, iSupply.
