Festiwal Najmłodszych

Between 1st and 5th july 2026 Poznań will once again become a meeting place for artists, families, researchers and cultural professionals from across Europe during the Early Years Festival curated by Art Fraction Foundation.

This edition is particularly special as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of theatre for the very young in Poland – two decades of artistic exploration, international collaboration and advocacy for the youngest audiences.

Over five days, the festival will present an extensive programme of performances, installations, concerts, workshops, participatory events and professional activities dedicated to children aged 0–5 and their families. Bringing together leading Polish and international artists, the festival explores contemporary performing arts that place children’s curiosity, imagination and agency at the centre of the artistic experience.
