The Winter Festival continued to enthrall visitors flocking to Al Majaz Waterfront, Sharjah’s popular leisure and tourist destination. Touring bands and street performers traversed the waterfront’s walkways, presenting a series of interactive entertainment shows, attracting a big turnout of visitors of all ages.
Guests enjoyed a performance by Mime Duets artists who conquered the ice rink with incredible skating routines. The little ones had great fun as they watched a magic show performed by a cyclist who mesmerised the audience with fantastic acts and games along the venue’s walkways. In exhibiting his expert skills, the cyclist magician also involved the children in some of his acts, and the young visitors were more than happy to become temporary magicians!
Numerous mascots from the popular ‘Panda Band’ welcome guests to Al Majaz’s winter wonderland. These costume clad performers showcase a heartwarming 30-minute show thrice, at 5pm, 7pm and 9pm respectively – definitely a must watch to feel the warmth and festive spirit of the season.
