mosquito repellent, sunscreen and smiles.

make a few new friends.

Families
neon lights 2015 is a family-friendly event, with lots of activities and shows
specially designed for kids and their families. We highly recommend that you arrive
early to ensure you catch all the fabulous family-focused activity.
For parents with strollers and prams, do take note that there will be a considerable
amount of walking needed in between different sections, some of which over
grassy areas. if you have a pram or a stroller, you will also have to go a longer way
around from Fort green to Fort gate if you want to avoid steep steps.

Family focused activity includes:
• neonkids (workshops) in Cloud Factory (13:30-18:00)
• diy Papermaking (workshop) beside Cloud Factory (13:00-17:00)
• the lords of strut (street performance) in Club minky (14:00-14:40)
• the league of sideshow superstars (circus stunts) in Club minky (15:10-16:10)
• breakdancing showcases in easy street (various times, pls refer to schedule)
• uncle raja’s Flying Carpet tales (storytelling performance)
in lit up (sat, 14:30-15:15)
• hammockland (chill out area) between Cloud Factory and lit up (13:00-19:00)
• air conditioned spaces: Cloud Factory and lit up are both air conditioned.

Please be advised that some performances may be unsuitable for children, in
particular the Comedy masala take-over and riot! at Club minky.
little ears do need protection at big concerts, so we recommend ear protection for
the wee ones at the main music stages.
there will be baby changing facilities, kid friendly food and special family stewards
to make your family day out as easy cheesy bambeezi as possible.
there are also two air-conditioned venues at the festival – Cloud Factory and lit
up – where lots of the family activity is.
