Mediterránea Kids Festival
The Mediterránea Festival is an unmissable event every summer in Gandia for families who love music and festivals. Moreover, this year the Festival Mediterránea becomes Mediterránea Dual Fest as, in addition to all the concerts that will take place in the festival grounds, other concerts have been organised to be held in the streets and squares of Gandia, within the framework of Mediterránea Al Carrer.
Of course, they haven't forgotten the little ones either, and after last year's great success, Mediterránea Kids is back. A special event, which will take place on Saturday 16th August, full of activities, unforgettable experiences and lots of music, focused exclusively on children and family audiences. A great plan!
This wonderful proposal aims to bring the little ones and their families closer to the festival experience in a version perfectly adapted to their needs and tastes. So there will be concerts specially chosen for them. Soon, we will inform you about the groups and artists who will perform for the little ones.
In addition to the performances, there will be fun workshops, musical attractions, interactive games, lots of surprises and fun for the little ones. And that's not to mention the other activities of the event that are also suitable for children, such as workshops and stands.
Dates: August 14-16, 2025
Location: Parc de la Festa de Gandía
Rototom Sunsplash 2025, 30th Anniversary Edition
Rototom Sunsplash in Benicàssim is known for being one of the biggest reggae festivals in Europe and also for its family focus. The family spirit has been present at Rototom since its inception. An inclusive environment that allows families to enjoy music and reggae culture together, and that improves year after year. Precisely for the 2025 edition, which celebrates its 30th anniversary, the festival offers interesting new activities and different cultural areas aimed at young people and their families.
The Rototom Sunsplash festival is not just about music, it's a whole universe full of life and activities for everyone! This summer, its more than 100,000 m² site will once again be a hive of experiences from early afternoon onwards. If you're going with your family, you'll be delighted to know that there are areas specially designed for the little ones, such as Magicomundo, with games and activities in the middle of nature, or Teen Yard and Rototom Circus, where teenagers can enjoy culture and urban sports.
In addition, the Discovery Lab, a space for discovering science in a fun way, returns for the second year with the support of the prestigious CERN. You can also visit the Artisan Market, with daily pottery and illustration workshops, and enjoy live art at the Social Art Gallery. And if you fancy something more relaxed, yoga, meditation and agro-ecology sessions await you at Pachamama.
The Jamkunda, focused on African culture, promises to fill the atmosphere with rhythm with its Afro-modern classes, while the Reggae University and the Social Forum (in the Municipal Theatre of Benicàssim, with free entrance) complete a very complete cultural offer.
Are you staying the night? The camping area has a capacity for more than 10,000 people in 200,000 m², with all the services and many new features: this year there will be more trees and free filtered water supply. And if you are travelling with your family, there is a specific area for you, quieter and with larger, shaded pitches.
