Helicopter Egg Drop: witness thousands of colorful, goodie-filled Easter eggs drop from the sky for kids to gather and enjoy
– And Much More!

I have attended this event twice. Kids were excited to collect the plastic eggs dropped from the helicopter, bounce on trampolines, and make crafts. Meanwhile, I was immersed in the electrifying street dance battle! The dancers’ movements ignited the stage, with every rhythm expressing a pure love for the music that was truly contagious. The natural rhythm of the dancers made the energy skyrocket.

There were also traditional dances and ballet performances that showcased impressive skill and left me in awe.

One tip: Parking can be challenging, so I recommend arriving early to secure a spot.
