(Macau & Hong Kong, 13 July 2013) –The summer season at Galaxy Macau™ got off to a
Smurfin‟ great start with the launch of the elaborate “The Smurfs 2 Summer Village” at the
resort‟s East Square. Inspired by the upcoming movie, The Smurfs 2, the Summer Village is
the perfect place for families to escape the heat for some cool blue fun and merriment from
13 July to 11 August.
Every day between noon and 9pm, the world of the Smurfs erupts into action with engaging
live performances and themed parades with mascot appearances that transport family
members into a real-life Smurfs kingdom. The festive decorations and colorful Mushroom
Houses also provide a delightful backdrop for photos. Those who email their favorite shots

fans of all ages entertained – whether they‟re playing a game against evil wizard Gargamel‟s
“Naughties”, doing fun DIY activities, getting creative in the arts and crafts section, or going
wild with tattoos and face painting. Game and activity coupons are redeemable for Galaxy
Privilege Club members, resort hotel guests, retail and restaurant patrons who spend
MOP200 or more at Galaxy Macau, or with the purchase of two movie tickets at UA Galaxy
Cinemas. Coupons are limited on a first come, first served basis.
