At Sha Tin Town Hall Plaza, enchanting ballroom and Latin dancing will be staged while music from popular children tales Snow White and Cinderella will be played.
Children will have a lot of fun and excitement enjoying the magic and drama show at the Children's Fun Corner.
Artists in different costumes will also parade around the carnival, with bamboo dances from the Philippines, Korean traditional drum and folk dances, Scottish pipers and Mexican music.
