Pontedera Kids: family event in the city centre

When: Saturday 23 May 2026, from 15:00 to 19:00.

Where: Corso and the main squares of Pontedera, temporarily converted into an open-air workshop space.

Pontedera Kids returns as a family-oriented event that fills the town centre with playful and educational activities. Now in its eighth edition and promoted by Confcommercio Pisa with the support of the Municipality of Pontedera, the afternoon offers a variety of workshops and games for children and teenagers, combining learning and fun.

Main activities

• Workshops area (Piazza Curtatone): magic and shows to introduce young children to illusion and performance.
• Little Chemist: safe, simple experiments to explore science through play.
• Recycling workshop (Piazza Belfiore): sustainability activities and an inflatable play area for active fun.
• Paleontology (Piazza Cavour): prehistoric-themed activities and wooden games.
• Quiz area and mascots: team games, shows and character meet-and-greets.

The event layout is designed to engage multiple age groups, from hands-on activities for the youngest to more structured proposals for older children. Local organisations and sponsors collaborate to create a community-focused afternoon of participation and entertainment.

Practical tips for families

• Arrive early to choose preferred workshops and secure your spot in the sessions.
• Bring water and a hat for the children, especially for outdoor activities.
• Check on-site or via the organisers' channels for any booking requirements for the most popular workshops.

A great opportunity to spend an afternoon together, discover educational activities and help bring the city centre to life.
