Brimming with interactive props, shower puffs and toys, Little Bath Wonders is the first baby show ever conceived in town by the creative minds of the Big Mouse Kids. This sensorial experience will immerse babies into sprinkling moments of joy taking them to interact with a couple of playful actors. Little ones aged 4 to 15 months will be free to explore their surroundings to the sound of live music. Staged over 20 times in Macau, this bonding experience will have parents enchanted with their children’s reactions, boosting imagination and freeing their spirits, without getting anyone wet.

Putting forward a brand new event, the Cultural Centre will innovate with tradition with the Arty Christmas, a lively arts carnival featuring local artists from different fields to create a fun-filled afternoon for families. It will kick off with CCM’s Singing Club, who will stage a lively mini-concert, bringing Christmassy songs for everyone to sing along. Later on, a group of little hip-hoppers will fire up the audience with the coolest vibe in a street dance demonstration.
