The Hong Kong Arts Festival was established in 1973. The festival is a platform which gives the visitors a wide array of art programs from across the world. The festival has become an integral part of the Hong Kong Culture. The Hong Kong Arts Festival was the brainchild of Charles Hardy who wanted a festival in Hong Kong that would support the performing arts. He later broached his idea with Sir Run Run Shaw and Sir Kenneth Fung Pin-fan. The Hong Kong Arts Festival showcases local as well as internationally produced performing arts. The festival is held every year in Hong Kong during February and March. The venues include numerous halls and theatres, ranging from small enclosures to large arenas.
The Hong Kong Arts Festival includes events such as the Dance, Drama, Chinese Opera, Western Opera, World Music, Chinese Music, Classical Music, and also Family Choice. International performers also bring their act to the Hong Kong Arts Festival, international artists of the likes of Jose Carreras, Yo-Yo Ma, Shanghai Kunqu Theatre, San Francisco Symphony, New Japan Philharmonic, Paris Opera Ballet, St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra and Wiener Philharmoniker all make their appearances at the Hong Kong Arts Festival. Local artists such as Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra also perform at shows at the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
While travelling to Hong Kong a stay at a Kowloon hotel is best advised. Out of the many hotels in Hong Kong, the Langham Hotel Hong Kong would be a really good place to stay.
