China's Labour Day holiday may have just ended, but we're already looking forward to the weekend. To celebrate, we're giving away two pairs of tickets to the Hand in Hand International Children's Music Festival happening this Sunday.
Haven't heard of the fest before? Here's what we previously wrote about the fun, family-friendly event:
This is China’s first international music festival intended for the whole family. Disappointed in the lack of new children’s music in China, Chinese singer-songwriter and author Liu Jian and his American journalist wife Rebecca Kanthor created Hand in Hand so their children, and all kids in China, could have a chance to hear the best live music for families from around the world and learn about different cultures through music. Over the next five years, Hand in Hand will bring the coolest bands for kids from 10 countries to tour 100 cities throughout China.
Hand in Hand's Guangzhou stop will feature Grammy and Emmy-winning husband and wife duo Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band, from the US, as well as Hippe Gasten from Holland.
Previous festivals have seen children (and their parents) dancing with musicians both on and off-stage.
Performers, too, made an effort to reach out to their pint-sized fans.
For a video preview of the Hand in Hand Festival, which will take place at Guangzhou's Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, see below. Then buy tickets for the whole family here. More information about the fest can be found on the official site.
Sun May 6, 4.30pm; RMB160-560. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. See event listing. Tickets.
