What's New this Year?
More Games
This year promises to be just as fun – if not more – as the organisers are introducing some brand new games, as well as "
softer, cuter, and cuddlier" toys to win. Among the new selection are Baby Groot Game, Jurassic World, Shopkins, Minion Football, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
More Circus Stunts
The hugely popular Great Circus of Europe will be returning from the UK for the second year, with a completely new and thrilling line-up of the world’s most jaw-dropping acts to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. This includes witnessing acrobats twisting and turning upside down and the strong man getting run over by a three-tonne truck. Ouch! The Circus will be running 2 to 4 shows per day from Tuesday to Sunday, so there's plenty of opportunity to catch the action.
More Snacks
Hong Kong celebrity chef Christian Yang, known as ‘the Culinary Magician’, will be overseeing and endorsing The AIA Carnival’s food section this year. He will be introducing a special range of 'Carnival Eats', and will be collaborating with vendors to create dishes and snacks that will tantalise the tastes of every palate. We can't wait to hear more!
More Competitions and Photo Opps
Throughout December and January, the Carnival will be running a series of competitions, giving Hongkongers the chance to win great prizes. The first competition will be announced on December 1, so follow the Facebook page and watch this space for updates. And to round off the whole carnival experience, a wide variety of installations and selfie boards will be dotted throughout the site, inviting guests to get snap happy and post their favourites.
