Established in 1993, Le French May is one of the largest cultural events in Asia. With more than 120 programmes presented across two months, it has become an iconic part of Hong Kong\u2019s cultural scene that attracts approximately 2 million visitors each year.<\/p>\n
The objectives of Le French May are to touch everything, to be everywhere and for everyone.<\/p>\n
To touch everything by showcasing the most diversified art forms: from heritage and contemporary arts, paintings and design, to classical music and hip-hop dance, cinema and new circus.<\/p>\n
To be everywhere by bringing performances to various venues and districts, including the unusual and unexpected: from cultural centres and shopping malls, to public spaces, the racecourse and Victoria Harbour.<\/p>\n
For everyone because the Festival aims to reach out to the entire community by developing educational programmes, talks, guided tours, workshops and masterclasses, including those that directly benefit the young and less-privileged.
\nFor 22 years, Le French May has been both truly international and distinctly local and wishes to contribute to the unique appeal of Asia\u2019s World City.<\/p>\n
Le French May received the \u201cGold Award for Arts Promotion 2008\u201d from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","event_category":[373370,373483,373318,373321,373386,373364,373313,373367,373478,373371,373322,373387,373456,373334,373359,373314,373315,373320,373366,373458,373369,373317,373459,373488,373489,373462,373463,373492,373464,373332,373465,373336,373466,373495,373383,373496,373385,373498,373499,373474,373476,373355,373357],"organisation_type":[350140,350141],"class_list":["post-1110661","organisation","type-organisation","status-publish","hentry","event_category-theatre-physical-theatre-mime-physical-theatre-en","event_category-visual-arts-antiquities-en","event_category-dance-ballet-en","event_category-dance-modern-contemporary-dance-modern-en","event_category-theatre-media-circus-acrobatics-circus-en","event_category-theatre-drama-en","event_category-dance-en","event_category-theatre-musical-cabaret-musical-en","event_category-music-media-circus-acrobatics-acrobatics-en","event_category-theatre-physical-theatre-mime-mime-en","event_category-dance-modern-contemporary-dance-contemporary-dance-en","event_category-theatre-media-circus-acrobatics-acrobatics-en","event_category-music-western-instrumental-music-en","event_category-dance-street-dance-hip-hop-dance-tap-dance-hip-hop-dance-en","event_category-dance-media-circus-acrobatics-acrobatics-en","event_category-music-en","event_category-theatre-en","event_category-dance-modern-contemporary-dance-en","event_category-theatre-musical-cabaret-en","event_category-music-opera-en","event_category-theatre-physical-theatre-mime-en","event_category-visual-arts-en","event_category-music-vocal-music-en","event_category-visual-arts-chinese-painting-calligraphy-and-seal-carving-en","event_category-visual-arts-mixed-media-and-installation-en","event_category-music-jazz-music-en","event_category-music-contemporary-music-en","event_category-visual-arts-new-media-art-en","event_category-music-new-media-music-en","event_category-dance-street-dance-hip-hop-dance-tap-dance-en","event_category-music-media-multimedia-installation-en","event_category-dance-choreodrama-en","event_category-music-media-imagery-en","event_category-visual-arts-mixed-art-forms-en","event_category-theatre-media-multi-arts-en","event_category-visual-arts-sculpture-en","event_category-theatre-media-circus-acrobatics-en","event_category-visual-arts-painting-en","event_category-visual-arts-photography-en","event_category-music-media-multi-arts-en","event_category-music-media-circus-acrobatics-en","event_category-dance-media-multi-arts-en","event_category-dance-media-circus-acrobatics-en","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation\/1110661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/organisation"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1110661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1110661"},{"taxonomy":"organisation_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/organisation_type?post=1110661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
