For three days, young residents of Cluj and their families enjoyed the magic of theatre performances, as well as concerts, workshops, breathtaking acrobatics and many other entertaining activities. The stages in Unirii Square and in the courtyard of the Art Museum of Cluj-Napoca hosted, over three days (from Friday, 5 September to Sunday, 7 September), children's performances from Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, Argentina and Romania. There were also musical recitals, and the surrounding streets were enlivened by the fantastical characters of roaming shows. In addition, the stage on Mihail Kogalniceanu Street featured performances aimed at adult audiences, as well as a spectacular fire show on Universitatii Street," reads a press release the festival organisers issued on Monday.

According to the same source, throughout the festival, workshops were held in Unirii Square and the courtyard of the Art Museum, covering topics such as reading, pottery, sewing, drawing, nutrition, robotics and many more.
