The Ithra Children's Festival is a vibrant celebration of creativity, learning, and culture tailored for young minds. Designed to inspire and engage children of all ages, the festival offers an exciting mix of activities, performances, and workshops.
Children can explore interactive art stations, participate in storytelling sessions, and enjoy shows that encourage play-based learning. This year's Theme "What if" is for curious minds as Children see the world through a lens of boundless curiosity, where every question is an invitation to explore.
What If? is a celebration of that limitless wonder, an immersive festival designed to ignite young minds and encourage them to explore, create, and question the world around them. By fostering imaginative play and artistic expression, Encouraging Curiosity-Driven Exploration, Integrating Art and Science Through Play, and Empowering Children as Storytellers and Creators , What If? nurtures the innovators, dreamers, and changemakers of tomorrow.
It is a space where children are not just spectators but active participants in shaping stories, building new realities, and embracing the joy of the unknown. At its heart, What If? is an invitation for children and adults to see the world not just as it is, but as what it could be.
