Philadelphia Children's Festival

Mar 7-9, 2027

Join Rosie Revere, Ada Twist and Iggy Peck on a STEM-filled adventure, follow a clever mouse and brave raccoon through some of your favorite fairy tales or dance along to the bilingual hits of the Grammy® Award-winning 123 Andrés. The Philadelphia Children’s Festival is filled with an array of professional performances and more interactive fun for families and school groups.

Shifting Dates, Ensuring Access

We want to make sure all area schoolchildren can attend the Children’s Festival. The new dates, shifted a bit into early spring, ensure our weekday performances steer clear of mandated state testing. And while it may be cooler outside, the fun will be just as big indoors in our beloved PLAyground, featuring a free concert and hands-on activities from local arts partners.

Also, be sure to check out our full line-up of family performances to enjoy cirque, theatre and music all season long. » Explore 26/27 family programming
