Children's and family theatre in the garden of the Sartorio Museum in Trieste
Among the most beloved events of the Trieste summer, Festival Ragazzi is the review dedicated to children, teenagers, and families. Its home is the charming garden of the Sartorio Museum, a green oasis overlooking the sea, in the heart of Trieste, which transforms into a child-friendly stage where the magic of theatre meets play and imagination.
The strength of the festival lies in its international scope: alongside Italian companies, groups from France, Spain, and Croatia take the stage, bringing different languages and techniques, from puppetry to clowning, from storytelling to physical theatre. Often wordless performances, capable of overcoming all language barriers and speaking directly to the imagination of the little ones.
Festival Ragazzi is part of the rich programme of Trieste Estate, the major event promoted by the Municipality of Trieste which enlivens the city for three months with hundreds of events including music, theatre, cinema, and performances. The section dedicated to children confirms the review's focus on families and new generations of spectators.
Attending a Festival Ragazzi performance in the garden of the Sartorio Museum means giving children an outdoor theatre experience in a secluded and evocative setting. An opportunity for both adults and children to discover together the beauty of live performance in the heart of summer in Trieste.
The 2026 edition of Festival Ragazzi is part of the Trieste Estate programme (June 4 - August 31) and returns to the garden of the Sartorio Museum with a schedule dedicated to children, teenagers, and families. Italian and international companies will perform, with groups from France, Spain, and Croatia, for afternoons and evenings of outdoor theatre in the green heart of the city.
The detailed schedule of performances, with guest companies, titles, and times, will be announced by the Municipality of Trieste in the weeks preceding the start of the review, within the official programme of Trieste Estate 2026 (June 4 - August 31).
