Festive fun at the Esplanade

IF you're feeling like a "grinch" this Christmas, perhaps what you need is a little pick-me-up to get you into the festive spirit. So stop by the Esplanade any day over the next couple of weeks and check out the annual year-end celebration titled Celebrate December.

From tonight until the last day of the year, there will be live performances by music groups, carol singers and even a sand artist. The performances will take place all over the Esplanade grounds every evening.

It all begins tonight with ExtraOrdinary Horizons (EO Horizons), a social enterprise run by the hearing-impaired. They will perform song-signing - replacing lyrics with sign language gestures and percussion - to well-known ballads and Christmas carols.
