Blickfelder Festival presents international theatre and dance productions for a young audience and realises projects between local schools and cultural practitioners. Every other year, Blickfelder occupies a public space in the city of Zurich through a diverse cultural program and opportunities for participation. From 1992 until 2020 the department of School+Culture Zürich was responsible for the festival organization. Since then the association Festival für ein junges Publikum Zürich has taken over the lead in planning and executing the Blickfelder Festival.
