From July 13th to 20th 2024, the International Children’s Theatre Festival takes place in Porto Sant’Elpidio for its 35th edition.

The International Children’s Theatre Festival is one of the most important events in Italy and in Europe focused on theatre for children and teenagers.

Every year it hosts dozens of shows, workshops>>>, exhibitions, meetings, theatre events of Italian and international companies.

The program includes opportunities for amusement such as shadow shapes, puppets, marionettes, dance and projects.

The Children’s Jury, composed by 150 children, attends all the shows and expresses a satisfaction rating from “beautiful” to “boring”. The show with the most positive votes wins the Prize named after Gianni Battilà, who in 1990 was the Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Porto Sant’Elpidio and one of the founders of the Festival. The award entitles the winning company to return to the Festival the following year with a new production.
The International Children’s Theatre Festival is a real feast dedicated to a large and lively audience with over twenty thousand people including children and families who animate the whole city.
