Event Highlights:

Live Performances: Get ready for an unforgettable adventure with Kiki the Eco Elf! Through wildly imaginative storytelling, mesmerizing multi-instrumental music, and high-energy interactive games, Kiki brings the stage to life with a powerful, earth-conscious message. Her dynamic performances blend music education, environmental awareness, and healthy living into an explosion of creativity, laughter, and thought-provoking fun!

With an ecological twist, Kiki ignites the imaginations of audiences young and old, inspiring them to take action while embracing their inner child. Step inside the belly of a giant inflatable salmon and embark on a thrilling journey through the salmon’s life cycle. Dive into multicultural tales, sing along with ocean songs, and discover essential lessons on water conservation and protecting our planet.
