Children’s Festival
Once more this year, Barcelona’s most
important children’s leisure Christmas and
one of the oldest of its kind in Catalonia
was an enormous success in terms of
visitor numbers, confirming the wisdom
of expanding the activities organised
to cover age groups below 4 years
and above 10. As a result, “Un día con
Peppa, el festival” (A Day with Peppa, the
Festival) gave younger visitors the chance
to meet characters from a famous TV
cartoon series, whilst the XD Young Fest
served up entertainment and multimedia
experiences for teenagers, who enjoyed
the video games, robotics and urban arts
activities available.
The Children’s Festival featured more
than one hundred activities, including
adventure circuits, gymkhanas and handi-
crafts and games aimed at encouraging
civic values and healthy habits. More
classical entertainment was also revived:
theatre, puppets, clowns, circus and
storytelling, as well as sport, promoted
in cooperation with more than 20 sports
federations, the Catalan Government’s
Ministry of Sport and Club Super3.
