"Heritage Vogue · Hollywood Road" street carnival to return on November 4!
The "Heritage Vogue · Hollywood Road" street carnival will again be held on November 4 (Sunday), with activities including exhibitions, guided tours, workshops and performances providing a unique opportunity for the public to experience the rich history, culture and arts ambience of Hollywood Road.
The event is spearheaded by the Commissioner for Heritage's Office (CHO) of the Development Bureau in collaboration with the Antiquities and Monuments Office, Tai Kwun, PMQ, Hong Kong Antique and Art Galleries Association (HKAAGA), and Arts in Heritage Research.
A spokesman for the CHO said today (October 3), "Last year's 'Heritage Vogue · Hollywood Road' carnival was well received, with enthusiastic public participation. This year, we decided to rerun the street carnival, with a view to enhancing the public’s understanding of the long history of Hollywood Road as well as promoting built heritage conservation in Hong Kong."
The event will be held at the section of Hollywood Road from Wyndham Street through to the junction with Aberdeen Street, Tai Kwun and PMQ with dance and music performances, guided tours, workshops, exhibitions and more. The non-profit-making organisations that run the Batch I to III projects of the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme (Revitalisation Scheme) will also host activities at their own marquees along the road, enabling the public to learn more about the current uses and services of the revitalised historic buildings. The HKAAGA and Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) will contribute to a signature night parade, including large-scale Man Cheong and Mo Tai puppets and dragon and lion dance teams of TWGHs, as the highlight of the carnival.
