Guest-of-Honour Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and Members-of-Parliament of Marine Parade Town will grace the event and join in the celebrations with the Kaki Bukit residents.

Highlights of Kaki Bukit Town Carnival
To kick-start the event, we will see a mini Diversity Parade formed by the Kaki Bukit grassroots, residents and schools, showcasing the strong participation and community support from Kaki Bukit constituency. PCF students will also dress in cross cultural costume to emphasise the importance of racial harmony in Singapore.
To commemorate the uniqueness Singapore possesses for its years of harmony amongst the various ethnic groups, there will be performances presented by different ethnic groups as well as multi-ethnic games which residents can interact and understand more about the culture beyond our own. In playing together and bonding with fellow participants of other races, residents learn to understand and respect each other's cultural and religious heritage. The children colouring corner will also be held to get children involved in the merriment of the event.
Be sure to catch all these happenings at the Carnival!
