Living Lamp Posts
An enchanting and illuminating act, the Living Lamp Posts are a marvellous moving
display of ornate light and colour that will light up visitors’ faces and fill them with joy as
they stroll through the fair’s halls.

Pinocchio on Ice
The adventures of Pinocchio, the wooden puppet who becomes a boy with the touch of
a fairy’s wand and whose nose grows longer when he lies, will come to life on the ice
rink with elaborate props, colourful costumes and amazing acrobatics.

Speed Painter
SIBF visitors can look forward to the fast paced, high energy of talented artists who will
delight audiences with their lighting-fast painting skills. Infusing gentle humour as they
execute dynamic artworks, the theatrical art show springs a pleasant surprise when the
painter turns his artwork upside down.

Scienza Della Plastica
Visitors will gain an introduction into the science of plastics and explore the secrets of
plastic recycling through amazing science experiments packed with spectacular optical
illusions and peppered with fun facts throughout the mesmerising show.

In addition, the 12-day cultural event will host a diverse range of vibrant activities and
workshops each day, targeting children of varied age groups to expand the knowledge
and experiences of young generations. The action-packed agenda of activities including
science and interactive workshops are led by qualified experts from across a spectrum
of art, science and creative disciplines, and will help visitors hone their skills and
unleash their talents.
