Open to all families, our festival will be delivered over two exciting days with activities, a soccer tournament, musical entertainment and delicious treats from Shanghai’s well-known restaurants. The weekend will culminate on Sunday afternoon with Heart to Heart Shanghai’s annual Battle of the Bands competition. So, stick around to see the best junior rockers in town, live on stage vying to take the best group title, while raising funds for a fantastic cause.
Here are the highlights of what we have in store for you and your family.
