Each October the popular Baboro International Arts Festival brings a riot of sound and colour to Galway at this event dedicated to children. Aimed at school groups, there is an incredible choice of over 40 performances by production companies from around the world with shows covering a wide range of art forms including puppetry, music, theatre, storytelling and juggling. The children are encouraged to discover their creative side at a series of workshops that take place throughout the duration of the festival. First held in 1997, the event now attracts over 40,000 school children from across the region. http://www.baboro.ie/
