March On

When was the last time we allowed ourselves to dream freely, to imagine a fantastical world, or to embark on a heroic quest? How can we nurture our young ones to have the courage to dream big, explore boundless possibilities, and journey through magical adventures? In a rapidly changing world, it is essential to guide them to grow with curiosity and wonder, encouraging them to imagine and create boldly.

Presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, the fifth edition of March On will be held from 7 – 29 Mar 2025. This annual festival is dedicated to young audiences, celebrating the stories, dreams and experiences that resonate with them. We welcome their families, educators, schools and children’s centres to join them in embracing this spirit of imagination and growth. This festival also supports artists in creating meaningful works for children and young audiences. Inclusion is important to March On. For this, we have curated programmes for a variety of age groups aged 0 and up, as well as for audiences from diverse backgrounds. This includes programmes designed with accessibility in mind.

March On is more than an arts festival. It’s a space where young ones can dream, play, and explore in a safe, supportive environment—and where adults can reconnect with their inner child. We hope this festival inspires you to dream boldly, to imagine deeply, and to embark on your own little adventure.
