Roola Boola Children’s Arts Festival is one of Melbourne’s most successful children’s arts festivals, held annually throughout the mid-year school holidays for children under the age of 12.
Roola Boola Children’s Arts Festival takes its name from an Irish phrase meaning ‘boisterous fun’ and with 30 events across the festival, it certainly delivers on the fun.
The festival, held from Tuesday 28 June to Friday 8 July, presents an interactive and dynamic
program featuring performances and workshops in magic, puppetry, circus, dance, music, theatre and craft.
A stellar line-up of performances will take the stage for four curated shows at Chapel Off Chapel:
• The Listies and Critical Stages Touring – ROFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing);
• The Victorian State Ballet – Beauty and the Beast;
• Circus Trick Tease – Brass Monkeys; and
• Hoopla Clique – Chores.
Children and their parents can join workshops at Chapel off Chapel from See Make Play, Magic
School Of Confidence, Rebel Stepz, Gumnut Music, and more.
The festival will feature free events at Chapel off Chapel, including colouring in and sustainable
puppet making workshops with Trash Puppets.
There will also be more events in Stonnington at various satellite venues such as Fizz Kidz, The
Space Dance Arts Centre and Duldig Studio.
