French May Arts Festival is a cultural highlight in Asia. As a bridge between Hong Kong, Macau, and France, it provides a powerful platform to promote cultural exchanges and art appreciation in the regions. 

With more than 20 million audiences reached over the years, it has become a 2-month, 1-million-audience annual cultural festival that focuses on sharing among talents, nurturing the local art scene, and bringing the best of French creations to the territory while integrating them into our everyday life.  

While COVID-19 has substantially impacted the art and cultural sector, French May Arts Festival wishes to stand firm in its mission of presenting every art form to the broadest audience.  

Through the rich diversity of its programmes – from exhibitions to performances, cinema, and gastronomy – French May has been continuously dedicated to serving our local communities by addressing the multiplicity of the audiences and their needs.  

While traveling is limited due to the pandemic, French May Arts Festival invites us this year to unleash our imaginations and venture beyond the boundaries of space, time and sensation by exploring the exchanges, influences, and inspirations of artists through their different cultures, origins and artforms.  

Thanks to the continued support of the Hong Kong SAR Government, the Hong Kong Jockey Club together with its sponsors and partners, the French May Arts Festival is today more than a local cultural institution dedicated to the enjoyment of its audience, but is also an ongoing mission to educate the young generations and reach out the less privileged and physically challenged.  

Once again, we thank you for joining us year after year in making the Festival what it has become. Together with our artists and performers, we wish you the most astounding unboxed programmes!
