Methodologically significant is musical anthropology in the context of children's culture.
Research methodology. Contextual concepts of «children's» – «holiday» – «festival» spaces are analyzed, which, despite their own autonomy, complement each other, constructing cultural practices of performative, communicative types.
Novelty. The Children's Festival acts as an unbiased mechanism of cultural communication, which is the basis of dialogue of various types of cultural creativity. Due to the dialogic structure and polycentric relations, openness, the festival acquires the characteristics of a creative laboratory, which opens the potential for experimentation, dynamic development of new forms, creative technologies, exchange of ideas, creation of new / other / different values.
The practical significance. The children's festival movement actualizes cultural projects that present modern creative strategies, and the prospects for the development of creative loci of culture are formed accordingly.
Results. Practical experience allows us to note that today the most relevant form of popularization of both academic and non-academic art are children's music festivals, which appear as performative, communicative practices with the intention of forming a special space. It was found that the festival as a popular cultural practice appears as a special (sub special) space – a creative laboratory, where in the forms of various communication and «self-practice» the obvious and hidden talents of children are realized.
