Brisbane's most iconic festival for children is returning!
Expect a full-venue takeover for six days packed with theatre experiences, workshops, free events and activities as we place children at the centre of the festival as artistic collaborators and experts in imaginative play.
Part of QPAC's Creative Learning Program, this year's festival program is intentionally designed to enrich children's learning and development through the arts. Rooted in curriculum, this year's program has been inspired by the theme of Belonging. All children will find safety, joy and acceptance - Out of the Box.

Workshops: $10 / student (1 teacher free per 10 students)
