Does it work for a baby or young toddler?

Yes. The whole festival is built for ages 0 to 5, and each show lists its own age range. Check that tag before you book, since some shows are for babies and others for ages 3 to 5.

Do we need to book ahead?

Yes. Each show is ticketed on its own through the venue, and audiences are small, so popular times can sell out. Pick a show on the official program and follow its ticket link.

Are there shows outside Barcelona?

Yes. The festival started in Sabadell and also runs in Sant Cugat, Granollers, Mataró, Viladecans and other towns.
