Bimbi in Festa

A weekend dedicated to children in Tagliacozzo

Bimbi in Festa is the summer event that the Municipality of Tagliacozzo, in the Province of L'Aquila, reserves for children and families. Established in 2023, the event has quickly become one of the most anticipated moments of the city's summer calendar, transforming the squares and spaces of this Marsican village into a large, sprawling playground filled with shows, workshops, and plenty of outdoor fun.

Three days of shows, workshops, and games

The festival takes place over three days packed with recreational and educational activities, designed to create opportunities for connection between children and their families. The broad and varied program typically includes:

• Theatrical performances that are engaging and suitable for a young audience;
• Storytelling sessions to introduce children to the joy of reading;
• Creative workshops to stimulate imagination and manual skills;
• Music, games, and entertainment in the open air;
• Moments of sharing designed to involve parents as well.

A focus on adults too

Alongside activities for children, some editions have enriched the schedule with proposals aimed at the adults who support their growth: meetings, book presentations, and educational workshops led by experts in child-adult relationships. It is a way to make Bimbi in Festa not just a leisure break, but also an opportunity for reflection and community building.

Tagliacozzo, a village of art in the heart of the Marsica

Set in Tagliacozzo, one of the most evocative villages in inland Abruzzo, the event offers families the chance to combine children's fun with the discovery of the historic center, featuring the famous Piazza dell'Obelisco, Renaissance palaces, and the intimate atmosphere of a mountain town in the Marsica region. Organized by the municipal administration, Bimbi in Festa is part of a broader program of summer initiatives that enliven the town and its hamlets during the warmer months.

An event for the whole family

Free and held outdoors, Bimbi in Festa is designed for an intergenerational audience: children, parents, and grandparents can share days of play and joy together in a safe and welcoming setting in the heart of Abruzzo.
