Organized by the Consulate General of France in collaboration with the Alliance Francaise of Hong Kong, and with the support of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for the past 17 years, Le French May has grown to become one of the largest French arts festival in Asia. During its history, Le Festival has staged over 500 events of the highest international caliber, covering a broad array of artistic disciplines including the visual arts, opera, classical and contemporary music, dance, new circus, cinema, as well as the culinary arts which we have developed into a stand alone programme entitled GourMay.

Beyond being a mere showcase of French arts, Le French May also aims to foster cultural, intellectual and artistic exchange between French and local artists; to help breed new talents and new projects; to strengthen the vibrant art scene in Hong Kong; and to serve as a living testimony of the close friendship between France and Hong Kong.

The growing number of our audience throughout the years is a testimony to the fact that Le French May has earned a premium spot in Hong Kongs artistic calendar. This phenomenon is attributable to a carefully-crafted schedule of programmes as well as our policy of affordable pricing. Le Festivals interactive website (www.frenchmay.com), updated daily, provides our audience an easy access to all our events. Through a 'free events category on the site, audience can purchase a broad range of tickets at a discount.
