AN osmanthus blossom festival, a float parade and a group wedding at sea will form part of a carnival from Saturday near the city’s major cruise liner port in Baoshan District.

The Shanghai Cruise Liner Tourism Festival, which runs through October 6, will also include an international darts competition and sightseeing tours along the waterfront at the Mouth of Yangtze River, where a “continuous footpath” is about to be built, the district government said yesterday.

The activities are all part of the city’s annual tourism festival.
