About Children's Festival
The Children's Festival of Gricignano di Aversa
The Children's Festival is one of the most beloved summer initiatives in Gricignano di Aversa, a town in the Aversa area in the province of Caserta, in the heart of Campania. Entirely dedicated to children, the event transforms the town's public spaces for an evening into a large, open-air playground, featuring entertainment, shows, and family-friendly activities.
An evening for the little ones
The program revolves around children's fun: games, entertainment, and live shows tailored to different age groups. The simple, participatory format aims to offer a carefree evening for local families in a festive atmosphere that brings together young and old. Admission is free, reflecting the community spirit that drives the event.
An event that evolves every year
Over the years, the Children's Festival has changed locations and organizers, yet it remains a staple of the Gricignano summer calendar. It has been held at Parco Silverio, in Piazza Municipio, and, in the 2026 edition, at the Church of Santa Maria a Piro. It is promoted by the Municipality of Gricignano di Aversa together with the Forum of Associations, the Youth Forum, and local volunteer groups, who collaborate every July to create a rich program of events.
In the heart of the Gricignano summer
The event is part of a particularly lively July for Gricignano di Aversa, filled with celebrations, sporting events, music, and tradition. The Children's Festival represents the moment dedicated to children within this calendar: an opportunity to experience the town's squares and spaces as a community, enhancing social bonds and a sense of local belonging.
