Kid's Corner

The Children’s Corner at Macondo Festival 2025 offers a vibrant, interactive space designed to nurture young imaginations through art, storytelling, and reading. Running across both Saturday and Sunday, the program blends creative workshops like crafts, canvas painting, and pot painting with immersive sessions such as storytelling by Wangari The Storyteller & Friends and author meet-ups.
