This Mother’s Day weekend, Urban Family and That’s Shanghai will be taking over Green City in Jinqiao for our Sound of Spring event. A celebration of music, sport and life, a carnival atmosphere will see two days packed with fun-filled family activities, including a parade, soccer tournament and an array of food and activity booths. The weekend will culminate at Heart to Heart Shanghai’s fifth annual Battle of the Bands on Sunday, May 8. See the best junior rockers in town, live on stage, vying for the title of the top group in the city, and raising lots and lots of money for a fantastic cause in the process!
Battle of the Bands
More than 10 bands from schools across Shanghai battling it out live on stage to raise money for Heart to Heart Shanghai. A non-profit community outreach organization created in 2003, Heart to Heart Shanghai is composed entirely of volunteers who donate their time to give support to Chinese children from extremely poor families who are undergoing heart surgery. Heart to Heart sponsors extremely poor children from provinces for heart surgery, oversee and volunteer in two hospital playrooms seven days a week, and donate school libraries in poor rural areas.
Shanghai Premier League’s Mini Euros
Inspired by 2016 UEFA European Championship taking place in France this summer, the Shanghai Premier League – long-term players out at Green City – will be hosting a Mini Euros. Expect to see gifted young players representing nationalities from across the globe doing battle on the field, but all in a spirit of liberté, égalité, fraternité. They will also be doing an opening and closing parade ceremonies each day. Hey, if you’re going to do something, do it properly…
