*******************************************************

The "Christmas Fun Gala" will be held on Sunday (December 21) from 2.30pm to 5.30pm at the Kwai Tsing Theatre Plaza.

Organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the event will feature a variety of performances and activities to celebrate the festive season. Admission is free.

Turkeys can sing and Snowmen can dance! Funny members of the Xmas Family from Australia, together with Peter Pan and Santa Claus, will add to the atmosphere.

Abracadabra! Magicians will perform amazing tricks in the "Magic Melody" while in the "Clown's Paradise", clumsy clowns will mime and juggle. Carol singing will fill the plaza.

Come and visit the home of Santa and he will tell you wonderful tales

about Christmas ... "once upon a time..."

Yule-time figures such as shepherds will mingle with the visitors, while the snapshot corner with its festive backdrop will surely be a popular spot for photo taking.

Creative games stalls will challenge the skills of children and adults alike. Don't miss the chance to demonstrate your skills and win a big prize!
