One of the other highlights of Art March is the 51-year-old Hong Kong Arts Festival, which gives a platform to leading local and international artists in all genres of the performing arts, such as Western and Chinese opera, classical music, dance, and theatre. As part of the two-month-long Art@Harbour, hundreds of luminous art installations will light up both sides of Victoria Harbour. This year’s edition of Art Central will return to Central Harbourfront to showcase works by cutting-edge galleries from Hong Kong, Asia, and beyond.
The Dior Fall 2024 Men’s Show, which was to take place on March 23 at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal was postponed indefinitely by the luxury fashion brand. No details have been given about why the runway show will not take place.
