EVENT DESCRIPTION
This May, Tai Kwun marks a milestone with ENCORE! – HKJC Celebrates Tai Kwun 7th Anniversary, a city-centre celebration of creativity, community, and connection. Anchored by Tai Kwun Gameboard, the site is set to transform into a playful landscape, where board games will stretch across the Parade Ground, pickleball takes over the Prison Yard, and moments of shared joy will unfold around every corner.
This anniversary celebration brings an exciting lineup of programmes designed to delight every visitor. From engaging guided tours that reveal the hidden stories behind Tai Kwun’s most Instagrammable corners, to explorations of the art galleries, hands-on creative workshops that spark imagination, and a fanciful street parade from the French May Arts Festival, Tai Kwun invites visitors to see familiar spaces in unexpected ways.
Enabled by The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) in partnership with the Hong Kong SAR Government, with the continuous funding and support from HKJC, Tai Kwun has grown from an architectural treasure into one of Hong Kong’s most beloved cultural landmarks—a place where heritage, arts, and everyday life converge. Over the past seven years, its storied gates have welcomed footsteps, laughter, and imagination, transforming history and arts into a living, breathing part of the city. This anniversary is both a tribute to that journey and an invitation to you – the Hong Kong public who have come in the millions since day one and who return regularly to catch our ever-changing programme, to keep playing a part in this evolving story.
