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.
