WestK FunFest

Overview

Join the party indoors and outdoors at West Kowloon’s brand-new participatory arts festival – perfect for families of all constellations

Description

Between March and April 2024, join us for the launch of our new annual family event – WestK FunFest – an inclusive, participatory performing arts festival, taking place at indoor and outdoor spaces around the Art Park, Freespace and the Xiqu Centre.

 

The three-week festival offers an exciting programme of free and ticketed events by local and international artists, promising captivating experiences for audiences of all ages and families of all constellations.

 

Highlights include Ephemeral – an award-winning, large-scale immersive art installation along the Waterfront Promenade, where you can explore a world of giant, rainbow-hued bubbles and catch pop-up performances. Also featured is the interactive multimedia children’s theatre ZOOOM, alongside Little Thai Forever, a performance inspired by lives of the Thai community in Kowloon City. You can also enjoy exhilarating one-of-a-kind experiences with the Hong Kong premieres of Pram People and 10-Minute Dance Parties, as well as an interactive play space with sound and light effects, hands-on xiqu workshops, storytelling and a whole lot more!

 

WestK FunFest is designed to spark the imagination and ignite the senses. Bring your family and friends and be inspired!
