"Hopefully the friendship story between ILO and Aiden at the Happy Village presented in ICEFEST will help educate children on the importance of family and togetherness," said PT Indonesia International Expo president director Ryan Adrian in a statement on Wednesday.
Education, entertainment, cuisine and shopping are said to be the highlights of ICEFEST, which seeks to become a popular year-end holiday destination for family travelers. Among the brands to be featured at the festival are The F Thing Mall, BMW, Mini Cooper and Goodrich.
While exploring the winter village, visitors can also expect to enjoy some performances, including the Naura 4 Fairytale Concert and a musical drama featuring the Trinity Youth Symphony (TRUST) Orchestra and the Hops Puppet. (sal/kes)
