The event was part of Xintiandi's "Mini Expo" series.
The week featured performances by Sesame Street characters and Dance America!, a famous troupe, at Xintiandi's South Plaza.
Meanwhile, Sesame Street Workshop also prepared a family party for everyone. Well-known "Sesame Street" characters, including Elmo, Cookie Monster, Little Plum, Abby and Big Bird and others, were there to meet fans. The characters also sang and danced to the delight of little ones in attendance.
Since November 10, 1969, millions of children around the world have grown up with "Sesame Street." The show is broadcast in 140 countries and regions.
It has won 131 Emmy Awards, according to China.org.cn. It is loved by children because it's fun and creative. It is popular with parents because it teaches young children in an engaging way.
