The story

Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage Month in Museums and community venues

Hong Kong's Intangible Cultural Heritage Month grew out of a proposal in the 2024 Policy Address and is organised by the city's Intangible Cultural Heritage Office each late spring into early summer. The campaign combines over one hundred activities, including live performances, guided heritage tours and interactive booths, drawing directly on entries in the government's ICH database.

Hong Kong's Intangible Cultural Heritage Month grew out of a proposal in the Chief Executive's 2024 Policy Address calling for a dedicated annual campaign to promote the safeguarding and transmission of the city's intangible cultural heritage.
