Simple Gifts of Joy

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Tai Kwun and The Hong Kong Jockey Club celebrate Simple Gifts of Joy this festive season.

What’s the perfect gift for the holiday season? Often, it’s the intangible things that have the most lasting impression — those spontaneous smiles, those warm embraces, those moments shared together. Christmas is that special time of year when these little things take on an extra special meaning.

This is the spirit in which Tai Kwun and The Hong Kong Jockey Club (“HKJC”) conceived this entire Christmas season in the Parade Ground where Simple Gifts of Joy will encompass Christmas carols, circus spectacle, comedy, a parade of giant giraffe puppets, gravity-defying acrobatics and a competitive playoff of edgy circus skills, all within the twinkling glow of Tai Kwun’s towering Christmas tree. Singers and circus performers from Hong Kong are featured alongside brilliantly entertaining international acts such as Gregarious (from Switzerland), Giraffes (Spain) and Funny Business (UK) as each weekend of December grows and buzzes with more excitement and joy, all offered free of charge for everyone to enjoy.
