About the event

Established in 1993, French May is one of the largest cultural events in Asia. With about 100 programmes presented across two months, we showcase the most diversified art forms – from heritage and contemporary art, paintings and design to classical music and hip-hop dance, cinema and circus. It has become an iconic part of Hong Kong’s cultural scene, reaching over 200,000 visitors each year.

French May brings the arts to everyone, not only in cultural venues, but also in public spaces, shopping malls and more, inviting everyone across Hong Kong to enjoy art in their daily lives.

Supported by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust as Major Partner, alongside other patrons and partners, The French May Arts Festival (French May) 2025 is delighted to announce the launch of this year’s programmes. Themed ‘Vive L’art’ – In Art We Live, the 32nd edition of French May is returning with more than 60 arts and cultural programmes spanning art, cinema, circus, music, dance, theatre and gastronomy. Supported by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust alongside other patrons and partners, the festival runs from 15 March to 13 July, beginning with the groundbreaking The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Picasso for Asia—A Conversation exhibition co-presented with M+. By providing a platform for local and international arts and cultural talent through vibrant cross-cultural collaborations, French May hopes to enrich and enliven audiences with the best of French culture and heritage, bolstering cultural bridges between East and West. Through partnerships with M+, Tai Kwun and others, this year French May is reaching out to touch everything and be everywhere for everyone through the best of French arts and culture.
