Part of its fifth edition of the Changi Festive Village, from November 1 2024 to 16 February 2025, passengers will be able to immerse themselves in a festive wonderland with ‘Hello Kitty’ taking centre stage for a celebration packed with fun, laughter and unforgettable moments.

Ang Siew Min, Senior Vice President of airport Operations Services at Changi Airport Group, said, “Sanrio’s iconic characters, such as Hello Kitty, have transcended generations, endearing themselves to both the young and the young-at-heart. We are delighted to bring these beloved figures to life at Changi Airport, offering a nostalgic journey for long-time fans and an exciting introduction for newcomers. This vibrant celebration reinforces our commitment to creating immersive and memorable experiences for all visitors to Changi Airport.”

Where to find the event in Changi Airport and what will happen?

Get ready for an unforgettable experience at T3 Arrival Hall’s super-cute carnival with Hello Kitty and Friends. The carnival features nine zones, each representing a beloved Sanrio character, including Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, Pompompurin, Pochacco, Hangyodon, and more. Visit each zone to pose with larger-than-life figurines of each Sanrio friend.

Exciting games, photo booths and fun rides await! Win tickets at the Sanrio-themed game booths to redeem limited-edition character collectables, including adorable plush toys, bags and keyboards.
