Edinburgh International Children's Festival 2026
(Sat 30 May-Sun 7 Jun)
The Edinburgh International Children’s Festival is coming back this year from Saturday 30 May-Sunday 7 June, with an exciting line up of performances for children aged 0-15yrs and their families. You can expect a jam-packed programme of circus, dance, storytelling and theatre, full of joy and surprises to savour as a family.
Many of the shows in the nine-day international programme are visually striking, brimming with humour and designed to appeal to children and their adults. From joyful circus extravaganza to intimate immersive experiences, from a play tackling bullying to a stage filled by a giant disco box, the programme has got something for everyone. The Festival opens with a Family Day of free pop-up performances and arts activities at the National Museum of Scotland on Saturday 30 May.
