French May Arts Festival
Discovering French artists, watching French films and enjoying concerts, shows or performances in Hong Kong.
The 2024 French May Arts Festival is packed with cultural events that celebrate the illuminating power of exchange and savour the

Leisure and Cultural Services Department, French May has grown over the last 30 years to become one of the largest French arts
festivals in Asia.
French May Arts Festival stages every year over 120 of the highest international calibre, covering a broad array of artistic
disciplines that include the visual arts, opera, classical and contemporary music, dance, new circus, theatre and cinema as well as the
