\n\tHong Kong<\/strong>
\n\tHong Kong\u2019s Halloween celebrations have long been recognised across Asia for their vibrant atmosphere and creative diversity. This year, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) <\/strong>is scaling up the event by joining hands with industry partners to launch the first-ever \u201cHong Kong Halloween Month<\/strong>\u201d, a city-wide, cosplay themed street party that will roll out over several weeks at popular tourist spots. Combined with signature Halloween programmes at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort <\/strong>and Ocean Park Hong Kong<\/strong>, as well as a range of exclusive, limited-time experiences around town, the initiative will transform the entire city into a giant Halloween party and give travellers a compelling reason to visit.<\/span><\/span>

\n\tThe theme of “Hong Kong Halloween Month” is “Make the Streets Your Runway”\u200b<\/strong><\/span><\/span>
\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHKTB Executive Director Anthony Lau <\/strong>said, \u201cWhat was once concentrated on a single day or a few venues is being upgraded into \u2018Hong Kong Halloween Month\u2019, a city-wide celebration spanning an entire month. We want to turn up the festive energy across all corners of the city and invite visitors and locals alike to dress up, join the street party themed \u2018Make the Streets Your Runway\u2019, and experience a Halloween celebration found \u2018Only in Hong Kong\u2019. I extend my sincere gratitude to all our partners, supporting organisations and the wider industry for coming together to deliver the most exciting Halloween festivities possible. Our shared ambition is to make Hong Kong the go-to Halloween destination in Asia \u2014 the first city that comes to mind when people think of where to celebrate \u2014 while drive footfall and business opportunities across districts and sectors.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\tHong Kong\u2019s Largest Halloween Cosplay Street Party Takes Centre Stage as The Whole City Dresses Up to Join the Revelry<\/strong>
\n\tIn addition to promoting the Halloween celebrations at the two major theme parks, HKTB has partnered with Hongkong Land, Kai Tak Sports Park, the Lan Kwai Fong Association, Langham Place and Sino Group to elevate the city\u2019s Halloween festivities, creating Hong Kong\u2019s largest-ever cross-district Halloween cosplay street party and calling on people of all ages to dress up and join in the Halloween revelry.<\/p>\n

\tStarting on 17 October and spanning three consecutive Saturdays, popular tourism districts including Central, Kai Tak, Lan Kwai Fong, Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui will come alive with Halloween cosplay street parties featuring a wide array of programmes, including electronic music parties, cosplay carnivals, interactive ghost performances and immersive experiences. Blending classic Halloween elements with popular anime and movie characters, contemporary art and distinctive local culture such as Hong Kong\u2019s iconic red minibuses and Cantopop, the events will offer a uniquely Hong Kong Halloween experience. The citywide festivities will culminate on Halloween night, 31 October, inviting locals and visitors alike to join in the fun across the city.<\/p>\n
