Attention, please! BICT Fest 2026, the 5th Bangkok International Children’s Theatre Festival, is back from 21–30 August with 11 performances, 6 workshops, and the power of play for audiences of all ages.
In a time when the world is changing rapidly and facing many challenges, BICT Fest continues to believe in the importance of the arts as a place for creativity that can spark imagination, hope, and dreams, while also serving as a safe space for both children and adults to share meaningful quality time together.
BICT Fest is a biennial festival celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. To mark this milestone, BICT Fest, in collaboration with One Bangkok, invites audiences of all ages to Play Attention: Look Who's Growing Up! This theme reflects the growth of BICT Fest and our intention to offer something back to everyone—a space of freedom for children, families, and audiences of all ages to experience the power of play.
With performing arts at its core, we invite you to return to this playground, where you are free to play—sometimes with intention, sometimes not—and let each playful encounter spark new discoveries that inspire us to grow, day by day.
To celebrate this 10-year milestone, BICT Fest welcomes audiences of all ages from young children, and teens, to even adults who wish to reconnect with their inner child. This year, we are bringing together Thai and international artists to explore a wider variety of performances and themes. We are also expanding our free programmes to make performing arts more accessible to everyone.
Get ready to experience 11 performances by artists from 9 countries: South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. Join us from 21–30 August 2026 and celebrate the power of play at One Bangkok, where the city's green spaces will be transformed into the heart of the festival, as well as at Goethe-Institut Thailand and Sodsai Pantoomkomol Centre for Dramatic Arts, Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University.
