On 14th June 2025, PSA’s Chennai International Terminals Pvt Ltd (CITPL) hosted a memorable Family Day event that brought employees and their families together for an evening of joy, bonding and celebration. Organised by Helios Event Productions, the event took place at YMCA Royapettah and carried the theme “Ohanaland – Moana Inspired.”

The Theme: Ohanaland – Moana Inspired

The event took inspiration from Disney’s popular film Moana, embracing Hawaiian idea of “ohana,” which means family. Goal behind Ohanaland was simple, to make everyone feel like they belonged. Whether you were a child or a grandparent, the space was designed to make you feel welcome, celebrated, and part of a big, joyful family.

The venue was beautifully transformed into a tropical island setting. Colourful fabric drapes, themed decorations and eye catching installations brought the Moana vibe to life. Every corner had something interesting, from playful elements for kids to scenic spots that impressed the adults. It felt less like an event and more like stepping into a warm, adventurous island story.

Themed Zones & Activities

Multiple interactive zones kept children and adults entertained. Highlights are as below:

• Craft Corners: Kids had a blast creating their own Moana inspired necklaces and tribal masks while adding a personal touch to the island theme.
  
  
• Adventure Games: Families joined hands for obstacle courses and beach style games that sparked laughter, bonding and a whole lot of fun.
  
  
• Photo Spots: Customised selfie zones and life-size Moana character cutouts became the go-to spots for families to click cheerful, memory-filled pictures..
  
  

Chennai Vibes on Stage

The stage was full of energy and emotion, due to a mix of performances that captured the spirit of the event.

• Internal Acts: CITPL’s own teams took to the stage with fun skits and dance routines inspired by Moana’s ocean adventures. What made them special was the local touch, Tamil songs and choreography blended beautifully into the theme.
  
  
• External Talent: Young local dance groups delivered high energy performances that combined classical Bharatanatyam with upbeat island music.

• Celebrity Performance: A popular Tamil playback singer delivered energetic renditions of regional hits and Moana-themed songs, getting the crowd to sing and sway along.
