About
The Sitges fantasy and horror film festival has made room for kids since 2023. At the Mercat Vell, the Sitges Family program shows films, cartoons and shorts picked for children and teens, with the audience on giant beanbags. The other big draw is the Zombie Walk, a crowd in full zombie makeup shuffling through town. Free makeup stations turn kids into the undead earlier in the day.
