The 9-day riverside event “2018 Taipei Riverside Children’s Fun Festival” came to a successful conclusion in the afternoon of July 22. The activity attracted approximately 16,000 visitors over the course of the event.
 
According to Information and Tourism Commissioner Chen Su-yu, this is the third year for the City to organize the festival, with more shows and programs added each year and a continued emphasis on participant safety.
 
With spotlights on Bravo the bear this year, the event attracted large number of families and children. Furthermore, the organizers have opened up the kids pools around the major pool to the public without need for preregistration. The presence of coffee vans and food trucks, alongside other stalls offering creative merchandise, ensures that adults can also lay back while kids enjoy playing with water.
 
The commissioner contributed the success to the support provided by the departments of fire, police, and health, as well as the backup of medical personnel. The tens of professional staff across different fields on standby and participating performers are the key to the successful event.
 
With a total of 14 play areas and facilities at the festival this year, including water slides, pools, and water walking balls, many kids return two or more times to enjoy the excitement at the event with their family.
