Members of the public are invited to visit the new phase of the Arts Fun Fair to be launched by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) at Kowloon Park this Sunday (June 2). Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the park while appreciating a wide range of handicrafts and artworks.
The 21st phase of the Arts Fun Fair at Kowloon Park runs from June 2 until May 31 next year, and will be open from 1pm to 7pm on Sundays and public holidays at the park’s Loggia. There will be 25 stalls displaying and selling trendy craftworks including fabric crafts, knotting, pottery and ornaments as well as traditional arts products and services including painting, silhouette cutting and calligraphy.
The Arts Fun Fair aims at enhancing public interest in the arts and enriching the arts atmosphere in Hong Kong. It will also make the park more appealing and enjoyable for park-goers, a spokesman for the LCSD said.
“The Arts Fun Fair at Kowloon Park has been well received by the general public. In addition to the fair, other specialised facilities in the park, such as the Sculpture Walk, the Sculpture Garden and the Maze Garden, also win the hearts of visitors enjoying fun-filled weekends,” the spokesman said.
In addition to the fun fair at Kowloon Park, arts corners at Hong Kong Park and Victoria Park have also commenced.
The 19th phase of the Hong Kong Park’s Arts Corner is now open from noon to 6pm every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday. It will continue until December 31 at the outdoor area near the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware inside the park.
