This is because in conjunction with the celebration, Sanrio Hello Kitty Town has introduced new activities starting August until end-October! After which, the theme park will play host to the massive Hello Kitty 3-day birthday carnival from 31st October – 2nd November. Just so you know, Hello Kitty’s birthday falls on 1st November. So, you could say that they’re hoping to host the first and largest Hello Kitty fans gathering in Southeast Asia.
And why wouldn’t they want to? The Sanrio Hello Kitty Town is the first Sanrio Hello Kitty Town attraction outside of Japan after all!
There will also be 4 main events for the occasion namely:
- Hello Kitty Friends Gathering
- Hello Kitty Friends Fiesta
- Hello Kitty Friends Catwalk

Expect street shows, magicians, and performers on the streets as well as plenty of things to do for the whole family like the minute-to-win-it games and indulging at the food bazaar.
