Visitors will have an opportunity to take part in other activities, such as fashion shows on traditional clothes, making folk toy and learning to act as MCs.

A organizing board representative said that the festival celebrates International Children’s Day (June 1) and visitors will have an opportunity to explore cultural similarities and differences in the world.
