Ever since 1993, May has been the most anticipating month for all cultural lovers thanks to the extravaganza brought by LeFrench May. This iconic two-month festival successfully attracts over 1 million visitors every year.
The theme of this year is “Dreams and Wonders”. There will be a series of cultural events stretched from classic to contemporary during the festival. In the past, Le French May has staged more than 500 events of the highest international calibre which covers a wide range of artistic discipline including visual arts, film, opera, dance, music, circus and culinary arts. Programme highlights include: exhibition of masterpieces by Claude Monet at Monet - The Spirit of Place, music concert Mozart in Love, classic stories of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast reinvented through ballet and contemporary circus Extrêmités. The festival also aims extending its vision to the community within the local scope. In order to benefit the young and less-privileged group, community outreach activities such as educational programmes, workshops, masterclasses, talks and guided tour will be held.
The objectives of Le French May are to touch everything, to be everywhere and for everyone. You can find little traces of the festival in different unusual and unexpected places in Hong Kong, from cultural centres and shopping malls, to public spaces, the racecourses and Victoria Harbour!
Being crowned for the “Gold Award for Arts Promotion”from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council in 2008, Le French May is the one and only unique opportunity for you to discover the best of the French artistic scene in Hong Kong!
