Forget screen time — this October, it’s all about showtime. The Play! Kids Festival 2025, Sydney’s fastest-growing performing arts festival for children, is returning bigger, brighter, and more playful than ever before.
The festival runs from October 1 – 5. This year’s event will feature appearances from beloved children’s performer Emma Memma and NRL star Jesse Ramien, along with a taste of the award-winning acts that make this festival so special. Guests will be among the first to experience Imagine Live!, a dazzling new production bursting with creativity, music, and joy.
A Festival of Wonder
Across the week, kids and their grown-ups can enjoy an incredible lineup including the rhythm-fueled fun of The Box Show, interactive adventures with Imagine Live, and the thrilling world premiere of Erth’s Shark Dive, an unforgettable underwater-inspired performance that’s set to make waves.
More Than a Show
This is more than just entertainment — families can enjoy fun festival activities, tasty bites, and a peek behind the curtain at the brand-new Creative Crew program, giving talented local Shire students the chance to gain hands-on experience in bringing a major festival to life.
