Sentosa Balloon Hats Festival
|
The Sentosa Balloon Hats
Festival began in 2004. It is a gathering of local secondary school bands
who would do display marches along the beach from Tanjong Beach to Palawan
Beach before a mass display event.

The participants would wear
balloon hats made by themselves and each school comes up with their unique
design. At the end of the event, all the students would pop their balloons
followed by a release of a large number of balloons into the air.
The event
began as part of an attempt to create the world record for the gathering of the
largest number of balloon hats. But since then, it had developed into a full
scale annual event with performances around the whole island before the marching
event began.
