Sail the high seas with Jason and the Argonauts; watch Red Riding Hood swinging through the air with the Wolf at her heels in Catch Me!; laugh at the antics of four crazy musicians and giggle with delight when you see Potato needs a Bath. These are some of the magical shows for children and families to enjoy at the 16th Baboró International Arts Festival for Children from the 15th – 21st October.
