The Leisure and Cultural Services Department will hold the "East Side Stories" community thematic carnival on December 9 (Sunday) from 2.30pm to 5.30pm at Aldrich Bay Park in Sai Wan Ho, featuring a variety of activities including performances, an exhibition and workshops to explore the stories of Eastern District. Members of the public are welcome to join in the fun with free admission.
 
     Stand-up comedian Mary will be the emcee of the carnival, which will feature choral singing, woodwind quintet and a cappella performances, as well as a site-specific dance performance, an interactive music theatre show, pop-up theatre of Eastern District and playback theatre performances.
 
     To enhance the public's knowledge of the history and culture of Eastern District, the carnival will also feature a photo exhibition displaying scenes of old Shau Kei Wan. In addition, recordings of fishing songs will be played for carnival-goers to hear tunes dating back to when Hong Kong was still a fishing village.
