Chinese Culture Festival returns with over 280 events showcasing traditional arts

The Chinese Culture Festival is set to return for its second edition, featuring over 280 events that will take place over several months, with tickets available for purchase online. 

The festival will include various concerts, film screenings, exhibitions, as well as community and school activities, with participation from over 3,000 artists from China and abroad and more than 150 organizations.

Ivy Ngai Suk-yee, chief manager of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department's cultural presentations section, noted that the festival will also offer free public activities, including carnivals and lantern fairs.

Ngai added that the event aims to showcase the profound richness of Chinese culture through diverse art forms and outstanding works, while promoting the preservation and development of traditional culture.

In addition, the opening show -- "Dongpo: Life in Poems" -- blends modern dance with poetry, traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy, seal engraving, and guqin music to reinterpret the poetic works of Song Dynasty poet Su Shi, often known as Su Dongpo.

In addition to exploring Hong Kong, international tourists can also participate in the 35th Macao Arts Festival, which immerses audiences in a world of creativity and artistic brilliance. This year's festival revolves around the captivating theme of "growth." Attendees can look forward to a dynamic mix of performing and visual arts, as well as exhibitions that highlight not only growth but also the powerful dialogue that art fosters within the community. With over fifteen diverse programs, there's something for everyone—from traditional theater to contemporary dance. As Macao embraces its role as the Culture City of East Asia 2025, the festival provides an ideal opportunity for cultural exchange and mutual appreciation.
