We will be happy to see you again among our guests at the 2019 Haifa International Children's Theatre Festival.
This Passover we have prepared for you a rich and diverse program for all ages and in varied styles.

New original productions, plenty of open-air street performances by street artists from around the world—the Netherlands, Spain, Italy...—together with the best shows produced in the finest children's theatres in Israel, and more!

The Haifa International Children’s Theatre Festival has become an annual Passover tradition. The Festival attracts crowds from all over Israel and abroad, and enjoys immense popularity.
Being a dynamic and creative event, the Festival's management regularly commissions new plays, having set the goal to raise the artistic standards of children’s plays in Israel. These plays participate in the competition, in which prizes are awarded in various categories.
An important component of the Festival is the colorful open-air performances and activities that take place in the daytime, enabling families to enjoy first class productions, free of charge.
Each year, theatres and street performers from abroad are invited to take part in the Festival. This exposure enables the Israeli public to get a close look at some of the best performers from around the world. Close ties are made between the Israeli and foreign companies, leading to exchange programs and invitations to appear in International Festivals abroad.
