•Crafts– paint masks and build lanterns. There'll also be a mural for children to develop and show off their artistic skills.

•Activities– get physical with the climbing wall and our inflatable Astro-Jump bouncers. Have fun with the large parachute game,having your face painted, playing with bubbles, foot fishing and engaging in games with other kids.

PERFORMERS

Fada Dance (SK) A trio of adventurous women lead themed fun and frivolous creative dance workshops for families.
