The much-anticipated concert will feature the renowned "National Taiwan Normal University Wind Band," led by Professor Yeh Shu-Han, performing world-famous melodies and Christmas carols in this joyous and delightful ambiance, inviting everyone to share in the meaningful celebration of Christmas!

According to the Taipei Water Department (TWD), the Gongguan Christmas Season is now in its 13th year and the Museum of Drinking Water is decorated with beautiful lighting in the evening, creating a warm festive ambiance that is sure to receive enthusiastic responses from the public. The Christmas concert on December 23 will welcome performances by the popular children's group MOMO and Sister Puff, engaging the audience in joyous activities, including online and offline quizzes with prizes. Professor Shu-Han Yeh, leading the renowned National Taiwan Normal University Wind Band, will present a spectacular classical orchestra themed "I Love Tchaikovsky," culminating in a rendition of the well-known carol "Silent Night" with the mayor and audiences invited to join in the chorus, for a truly an unparalleled Christmas musical feast for all attendees.

The TWD pointed out that Christmas is a heartwarming and bustling celebration. As the year winds down, it will add even more warmth and significance to this event. Continuing the tradition from previous years, the TWD's Employee Welfare Committee called upon colleagues to donate goods for a charity sale. The entirety of the sale proceeds will go towards supporting disadvantaged groups in remote areas. The event also invited the Waterfront Comma Market, sheltered workshops, and social welfare groups to sell unique items, backing local businesses while fostering charitable giving. Alongside these efforts, diverse and engaging booths will be set up, offering educational games, advocating anti-corruption and integrity education, promoting water conservation in daily life, and rewarding participants for donating electronic invoices. Additionally, the day will feature exclusive shopping district prizes and a "Popular Vote Award" for school art performances at Taipei Water Park, promising a fulfilling event program and a shared Christmas filled with joy and kindness.
