International Arts Carnival
The annual summer festival International Arts Carnival is a tailor-made arts festival for children and their families. Featuring various groups of outstanding overseas and local artists each year, the Carnival presents fun-filled stage and online programmes with unlimited intelligence, which covers circus, magic, dance, puppetry, music theatre and multimedia performances to widen the audience’s artistic vision and induce children’s infinite imagination wherever they are in or out of the theatres. The Carnival lines up a wide variety of extension activities including workshops, talks and exhibitions. It also includes parent-child activities organised by LCSD-managed museums and libraries over summer.
