Shows for Children and Families

A summer festival for the little ones

The Shows for Children and Families are a staple of the summer season in Vermiglio, the westernmost municipality of the Val di Sole, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). Every year, throughout July and August, the local Teatro Polo Culturale opens its doors to a series of performances specifically designed for children and their families, with completely free admission.

Magic, music, theatre, and fun

The programme alternates between different genres and styles to take little ones on a journey of imagination and wonder: magic and illusionist shows, musical entertainment, comedy theatre, storytelling, and group games. Each event is crafted to directly involve the young audience, who become active participants in the stories being performed. The indoor setting, within the municipal theatre, makes the festival an excellent alternative on less sunny days during your mountain holiday.

A weekly appointment

The festival runs on a weekly basis, typically in the early afternoon, making it easy to fit into the rhythm of summer holidays for families staying in Vermiglio and the nearby locations of the Tonale and Val di Sole area. Throughout the summer, numerous different events take place, each featuring a different company or artist, offering children a fresh show every week.

Vermiglio and the Val di Sole

Situated at an altitude of over 1,200 metres, at the foot of the Tonale Pass and just a stone's throw from the Stelvio National Park, Vermiglio is a highly appreciated destination for family summer holidays. The Teatro Polo Culturale, which also houses the tourist information office and the White War Museum, is one of the town's main cultural hubs. The children's festival is part of a rich calendar of summer events promoted by the Municipality of Vermiglio together with Vermiglio Vacanze, designed to enliven the town's tourist season.

A free event for everyone

Admission to the shows is free and open to all, with no reservation required, and is suitable for children of all ages. It is a simple and pleasant opportunity to spend a few hours together, discovering the cultural vibrancy of a small mountain village in Trentino.
