Puteri Harbour, Johor, 5 June 2013 – The quaint and beautiful waterfront marina at Puteri Harbour was bustling with fun-filled excitement and activities today at the launch of Little Red Cube , the quay-side retail lifestyle and family entertainment complex at Puteri Harbour. The launch was witnessed by families and friends of the Little Red Cube community as visitors and retailers flocked the complex to join in the fun with unique performances planned for the event. Creativity took centre stage as the Stompers awed the crowd with rhythm and beats from recyclable items like trash bins, paint containers, pots, pans, bottles, metal chairs and ladders, followed by a group of lovable children who took on the catwalk for a Children’s Fashion Show by Poney, one of the tenants at Little Red Cube.

Developed by Destination Resorts and Hotels (DRH), Little Red Cube is designed to be the ideal destination for families and friends to get together, offering a complete mix of retail, leisure, entertainment and F&B outlets including fine dining and alfresco cafes. Strategically located at the waterfront marina of Puteri Harbour, its 88-retail lots are sprawled on two levels, consisting of a promenade that faces the marina that promises a spectacular view of the Straits of Johor, integrated with attractions such as an indoor theme park and an internationally established hotel brand.

In conjunction with the launch and the school holidays, Little Red Cube will be hosting the Little Red Cube Carnival starting today to 23 June 2013. Friends and families can look forward for a festival of fun activities and entertainment throughout the day such as clown walkabouts, stilt walkers, balloon sculpting and many more. There will also be challenging competitions that will jump start the adrenalin rush for instance ‘Jumbo Sumo Wrestler Competition’, ‘Hot Wheels Car Race’ and ‘Nerf Gun Challenge’. Children can look forward to explore their creativity in designing their own cupcakes and even ponies. Besides that, a free blood test counter will also be opened for the community.
