From dazzling entertainment to hands-on learning experiences, this event offers something for every child and their grown-up. A carefully curated blend of fun and education, the festival will transform the scenic grounds of the Blue Marlin Hotel into a vibrant wonderland, filled with themed activity zones, character appearances and joyful performances.
