The celebrations consist of a number of events centring on a fair and carnival, with local delicacies and a wide range of arts crafts for sale. The fair usually kicks off somewhere between 3.30pm and 4.00pm, depending on how quickly the town starts to cool down. In addition to the late afternoon and evening events of parades and shows in the streets there are live music activities and dance shows until well into the night. A lottery is one of the main events and in the 2011 Fair one lucky winner scooped the first prize of a brand new house in Phuket worth over 3 million Baht. The Red Cross Fair, in common with most events of its kind across south east Asia, is an unusual combination of open-air market and Chinese-style temple fair and is staged, not only as an event popular with locals and tourists, but more seriously to raise money for the Thai Red Cross in Phuket. Entry is free and as well as carnival games and food stalls there will be an exhibition area where visitors can learn more about the Thai Red Cross.
