From 10‑19 October 2025, the Baboró International Children’s Festival in Galway promises performances, exhibitions, workshops, and interactive works, especially designed for children and families. Originally founded in 1997, it has grown into a high‑quality artistic event with both international and Irish artists. For tourists travelling with children, or those young at heart, Baboró offers playful engagement: puppet shows, storytelling, visual arts, and more
Galway itself is a delight: colourful streets, vibrant busking, the Spanish Arch, cafés by the river. Staying in Galway for Baboró means you can combine the festival with day‑trips into Connemara, the Aran Islands, or coastal walks. It’s perfect timing for exploring when the weather is still relatively mild, and crowds thinner than in summer. If you care about cultural immersion and shared family experiences, this is one to catch.
