International top artists giving world class performances ranging from the classical to the avant-garde, and the familiar to the surprising – the Hong Kong Arts Festival is this vibrant city’s premier cultural happening.

Organised since 1973, the festival is now in its 51st edition and has grown into the territory’s biggest arts event of the year drawing thousands of spectators.

What is the Hong Kong Arts Festival?

During the five weeks of the Hong Kong Arts Festival 2024, leading artists from all over the world travel here to participate in all genres of the performing arts, from western, Cantonese and Peking opera, classical music and symphonies, to theatre, dance, jazz, world music and special large-scale happenings, as well as outdoor events.

While the festival offers a platform to both Asian and international top artists to showcase their talents, arts enthusiasts of all tastes can indulge themselves in an eclectic range of visual and performing arts when there’s something new to watch or listen to every single day. Especially lovers of music and theatre will find themselves like a fox in a chicken coop during this lavish cultural feast.

In addition, the festival also has a programme of “Festival PLUS” activities such as movies, exhibitions, workshops and master lecture classes, guided tours, meetings with artists and visits backstage.
