What began as a seasonal retail initiative two decades ago has evolved into one of India’s most anticipated summer experiences for families. This year’s Max Kids Festival combines themed merchandise, interactive experiences, and city-wide activities designed to deliver memorable in-store engagements for children and parents alike.
The festival coincides with the release of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 on June 19. Max Fashion has introduced a dedicated Toy Story 5-inspired collection featuring popular characters including Woody and Buzz Lightyear. The collection highlights themes of friendship and adventure through playful designs created for everyday children’s fashion.
The collection includes more than 50 styles spanning infants, children, and teenagers. Coordinated sets, character-themed prints, and everyday essentials form a major part of the range. The festival also showcases Max Fashion’s broader Disney and Marvel-themed portfolio, positioning this edition as one of the brand’s largest character-led retail campaigns.
Expanding the celebration beyond stores, Max Fashion has launched the “Paint & Win” creative contest across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Chennai. The initiative has already received more than 5,000 registrations. The contest encourages children to participate in painting activities while engaging with Toy Story 5-themed games, music, and interactive experiences organised across participating cities.
Under the contest, winners will receive gift vouchers worth INR 6,000 along with trophies and certificates, while runners-up will receive gift vouchers worth INR 3,000 accompanied by trophies and certificates.
As part of the launch celebrations, Max Fashion organised a large-scale in-store fashion walk at its Rajouri Garden outlet in New Delhi. More than 200 families, including parenting content creators, attended the event, where children showcased the Toy Story 5-themed collection in a specially curated fashion presentation.
Sumit Chandna, Chief Executive Officer of Max Fashion, said the Max Kids Festival has emerged as a significant platform for the company to present the scale of its children’s fashion offerings while creating engaging experiences for families. He stated that the Toy Story 5-inspired collection allows the brand to combine storytelling with accessible and relevant fashion across categories and age groups.
