The project was born in 2005 at laSala in Sabadell with the aim of creating the country’s first international festival exclusively dedicated to the arts for early childhood, and year after year, it has expanded. In 2023, it will take place from November 11 to 27 and, specifically in Sant Llorenç, it will encompass the last weekend.
