Music Performances: Every Friday, an open stage will be available for young musicians to perform, with the final performance also taking place on July 26. This platform aims to nurture local musical talent, providing them with an opportunity to shine in front of a supportive audience.
In addition to these main events, swimming training sessions are being conducted from June to August at Pattaya City School 11. This training aims to develop swimming skills and promote physical fitness among the youth.
This initiative is part of Pattaya City’s broader policy to transform Lan Pho Public Park into a dynamic and creative recreation area for young people. The project not only emphasizes the importance of physical health but also seeks to foster relationships among students from different schools. By enhancing the potential of youth in sports and music, the program aims to pave the way for these young talents to compete professionally on an international level.
