Skool's out at Laguna

PHUKET: Laguna Phuket’s annual Summer Family Festival gets off to a rocking start on Saturday June 23 at the Canal Village with an opening “Skool’s Out” party featuring a double bill of the island’s hottest young bands – The Screaming Hypocrites and Legends of Siam.

Held the day after international schools close for the summer break, the party is a way for kids, teachers and parents to celebrate the end of another school year and launch the Summer Family Festival.

The Summer Family Festival offers a daily Kidz Fun Zone programme and is followed by casual evenings of family entertainment featuring a BBQ Beer Tent, which will televise major international sports events including the London 2012 Olympics, Wimbledon tennis and Formula One races.

This year’s Summer Family Festival, which runs until August 25, promises to be bigger and better than ever according to organisers, with exciting new attractions staged alongside established favourites such as Quest’s ever-popular daily Kidz Zone adventure activities and the Kidzsole Flying Trapeze.

New this year is Zumba, the energetic Latin music-inspired workout system currently sweeping the world, with sessions staged by Zumba Phuket at 5pm every Tuesday and Thursday in Canal Village.

A wandering troupe of talented street performers will add to the carnival atmosphere in Laguna Phuket and once again the Canal Village Festival marquee will be a focus of activity with a bar, great food, big screen live sports events, a weekly quiz night with Laguna Phuket prizes and entertainment evenings.

As well as the opening “Skool’s Out” party, another Saturday night theme party is planned for July 21 and a closing party will bring the Festival curtain down on August 25.
