Offering an exciting mix of activities, performances, and workshops, the festival has been designed to inspire and engage children of all ages. Now in its second edition, this year’s theme, ‘What if?’, explores childlike wonder and curiosity as children see the world through a lens of endless curiosity, and every question is an invitation to explore.

The theme is a celebration of that limitless wonder. The children’s festival is an immersive event designed to ignite young minds and encourage them to explore, create, and question the world around them.

By fostering imaginative play and artistic expression, Encouraging Curiosity-Driven Exploration, Integrating Art and Science Through Play, and Empowering Children as Storytellers and Creators, What If? nurtures the innovators, dreamers, and changemakers of tomorrow.

It is a space where children are not just a part of the audience but active participants in shaping stories, building new realities, and embracing the joy of the unknown. At its heart, What If? is an invitation for children and adults to see the world not just as it is but as what it could be.

Spanning several activities, including water fights (SAR20), a children’s book fair, and story time, the Ithra Children’s Festival 2026 will be divided into workshops and activities. On the workshop front, the kiddos can look forward to Kinusaiga art, VR, family bouquet making, beaded plant suncatcher, and painting lamps.
Most of the activities are free, but double-check on the Ithra website to be completely sure.
