The Guangzhou Haixinsha Carnival, operated by MGM's subsidiary, China-US Holiday (Guangzhou) Cultural Tourism Development, commenced its trial phase on Dec 25, with its official public opening set for Dec 27.

This city-level event will run until March 8, 2026, encompassing the New Year and Spring Festival holiday periods.

Occupying an area of approximately 35,000 square meters on Haixinsha Island, the carnival is positioned as a key winter destination for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Structured around the core theme of "Joy, Culture, and Creativity", it integrates Lingnan cultural elements with international entertainment and retail concepts.

On-site facilities include over 10 major amusement rides, including carousels and roller coasters, and nearly 100 skill-based game arcades. The event also features a food and shopping precinct with about 100 food and beverage brands and 50 international pop-up stores. A program of live concerts, thematic performances, and crossover art events will run throughout its duration.

With a reported total investment of 150 million yuan ($21.40 million), the carnival has developed into an integrated urban leisure destination offering immersive cultural, recreational, and shopping experiences.
