Organizers describe the festival as an opportunity for families to explore the world from a child’s perspective, while discovering how boundaries can provide the security and confidence needed for learning, experimentation and personal growth.

The program will cover six main areas: society, education, the environment, culture, technology and health. Through activities and experiences designed for different age groups, the festival aims to raise awareness of contemporary issues, encourage participation and bring families closer to topics that affect everyday life.

Workshops, playgrounds and live performances

The festival will feature a wide range of activities for children of all ages, including structured workshops in three dedicated spaces: STEAM Stars, Discoveries and Preschool.

Four themed playgrounds—Adventure, Sports, Preschool and Babyland—will offer opportunities for active play, while a program of family-oriented side events will provide additional entertainment throughout the weekend.

The cultural program will include theater performances, music, dance and live concerts featuring well-known artists. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet popular social media influencers and content creators.

Dedicated thematic areas will focus on food, books, the environment, technology, the arts and society. This year’s edition will also introduce a new Pre-teens area for children ages 8 and older, expanding the festival’s activities for older children.

Accessibility and sustainability will also feature prominently, with educational, informational and interactive initiatives designed to promote more inclusive and sustainable practices.

Beyond the activities, families will be able to enjoy a lounge area, a food and drinks section, and a marketplace showcasing products and services aimed at families.

Exploring the meaning of ‘Beyond the Limits’

Building on the changes introduced at its 2025 edition, KIDOT Festival 2026 places particular emphasis on finding a balance between freedom and boundaries.

Its central message is that imagination, love, acceptance and creativity should have no limits, but that these values need a safe and supportive environment in which to flourish.

Through its combination of play, education, entertainment and social awareness, the festival aims to create an experience in which children can discover their potential and adults can reconnect with their own sense of curiosity and imagination.
