Natalya Thomas-Small, the Founder and Director of KidsFest592, highlighted the purpose of Brunch with Santa.
She expressed her intention to recreate the joy of Christmas by reviving childhood memories associated with events held in the Promenade Gardens and road parades.
Thomas-Small emphasized the significance of rekindling the true meaning of Christmas in Guyana.
Reflecting on her childhood experiences, Thomas-Small shared, “What I was trying to do was bring back the joy of Christmas because I realized that as a little girl, I can remember coming to events of this magnitude in the Promenade Gardens, road parades, and this wasn’t so for a long time. So I wanted to rekindle what Christmas means in Guyana.”
The Brunch with Santa event at Whoville in Promenade Gardens aimed to reignite the Christmas spirit within everyone and create a festive, family-friendly environment.
The modern twist on traditional celebrations provided a unique and enjoyable experience for attendees of all ages.
