Hong Kong is a repository of traditional Chinese culture and cultural bridge between East and West. Organised by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Earthpulse Society Limited with the support of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Hong Kong Culture Festival (HKCF) is a celebration of Hong Kong’s unique cultural heritage. To date the only comprehensive arts and cultural festival dedicated to traditional culture and intangible cultural heritage, its programme encompasses four main areas: “Visual Arts”, “Performing Arts”, “Intangible Cultural Heritage” and “Martial Arts Culture”.
Hong Kong Culture Festival’s mission is to preserve and revitalise intangible cultural heritage. Through organising a major annual festival we aim to raise public interest and encourage participation in traditional culture, particularly among youths. As an integrated platform for collaboration across different cultural fields, Hong Kong Culture Festival also aims to nurture creative talents and inject innovation into traditional culture.

Intangible Cultural Heritage Earthpulse Society is dedicated to preserving and revitalising Chinese cultural heritage. The Society, with support from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department – Intangible Cultural Heritage Office, organised the first edition of Hong Kong Culture Festival in Sep and Oct 2015. The festival was the first in its kind for local cultural survival and re-vitalising the traditions in the contemporary Hong Kong society.
