For two weeks, from Saturday June 21 to Saturday July 5 2008, Šibenik, Croatia will be welcoming the whole world at the 48th International Children's Festival. Musicians, actors, film-makers, poets, puppeteers and other performance artists will perform for the young spectators.

Performances generally take place in the evening, while budding artists will have access to numerous workshops during the day.

At the peek of summer, children will be able to train their creativity in the cool yard of a Baroque hotel, explore the mysterious network of the wells and tanks of an old city or launch an attack on the numerous strongholds which once protected the city, the first one constructed by the Croatian kings.
