PANDA GO! FEST HK

EVENT DESCRIPTION

As a national treasure, the giant panda’s rarity and heartwarming, adorable appearance have captivated the world. In Hong Kong, the panda craze shows no signs of slowing down, from the anticipated arrival of two new pandas in December to the locally born panda twins earlier. After the successful summer exhibition “100% DORAEMON & FRIENDS Tour (Hong Kong)”, the creative brand AllRightsReserved (ARR) is once again setting the stage for a new wave of excitement by organizing Hong Kong’s largest panda exhibition, PANDA GO! FEST HK. The exhibition will showcase 2,500 panda sculptures in eight unique designs. 

The PANDA GO! FEST HK will kick off with a grand welcoming ceremony on December 2 at Hong Kong International Airport, where 2,500 pandas will be warmly welcomed. These pandas will be creatively displayed across various locations around Hong Kong. Visiting iconic landmarks with four exhibitions throughout the city, starting in December.  Inspired by Hong Kong’s own panda family, the PANDA GO! FEST HK also features six exclusive designs and introduces the special Hong Kong IP – Panda Friends & Family Hong Kong (PFF HK). 

After the welcoming ceremony at the airport on December 2, visitors have the chance to spot traces of giant pandas at various iconic landmarks across Hong Kong, bringing art closer to daily life and raising awareness about panda conservation. The highlight of the event is the appearance of 2,500 pandas in four public exhibitions starting from December 7, where they will meet locals and visitors alike.

The Exclusive Hong Kong IP, Panda Friends & Family Hong Kong, will Make Its Adorable Debut

When visiting the PANDA GO! FEST HK exhibitions, you will notice six particularly familiar and charming pandas among the crowd. As ARR has specially created six new characters of Panda Friends & Family Hong Kong (PFF HK), an exclusive Hong Kong IP inspired by the city’s panda family. These characters include Ying Ying, Le Le, and the newly added members—Keke*, An An*, and the twin pandas, “Big Sister*” and “Little Brother*” (*existing names).  Each character incorporates their distinct personalities and physical traits with anthropomorphic elements, blending local cultural and lifestyle features to create a one-of-a-kind Hong Kong-exclusive IP. 

PFF HK will not only be part of the exhibition but also serve as Hong Kong’s giant panda ambassadors. This IP may appear in other panda-related events hosted by various organizations. ARR has gifted this IP to Hong Kong. Organizations are incorporating PFF HK into different settings, actively driving culture and tourism.

This initiative aims to spread joy, boost the economy, and infuse new energy into Hong Kong. During this event, all royalties generated from commercial activities will be fully donated to Ocean Park to support giant panda conservation efforts. 

This exhibition also features renowned French artist Paulo Grangeon as the artistic consultant. With his meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of artistic creation, he has further refined and elevated the essence of pandas, ensuring that every sculpture and movement captures the panda’s spirit to the fullest.

PANDA GO! Fest HK has also invited 11 renowned figures from various fields to create one-of-a-kind special-edition panda designs. The lineup includes Pharrell Williams, a renowned musician, artist, producer, and fashion designer; Huang Bo, a celebrated actor and director; Du Juan, a supermodel and actress; and Kasing Lung, the artist behind the creation of LABUBU, among others.

Most of these special-edition panda sculptures will be auctioned online for charity, with the highest bidder winning. Proceeds from the auction, with no deductions, will be donated in full to Ocean Park, supporting giant panda conservation efforts. 

A National Treasure Promoting Cultural Exchange

The giant panda, a national treasure, carries profound cultural and ecological significance. As a Class I protected animal in China, the panda is an endemic species found only in the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. Its rarity makes it incredibly precious. Symbolizing good fortune and friendship, pandas often serve as cultural ambassadors, gifted to countries around the world. The two pairs of pandas previously sent to Hong Kong have accompanied generations of locals, and the new arrivals will continue to bring joy to the people of Hong Kong.
