Le French May is an annual event in Hong Kong organized by the Consulate General of France in collaboration with the Alliance Française. It is now the largest French Arts Festival in the Asia-Pacific region and has grown to become one of Hong Kong’s major cultural events. Since its beginning in 1993, Le French May has presented more than 300 events of the highest international standard ranging across a wide spectrum of disciplines that has included visual arts, music, performing arts, cinema and gastronomy events.
Le French May has grown from an enthusiast idea of a group of Hong Kong and French art-lovers, together with Mr. Laurent Aublin, who was Consul General of France in Hong Kong (1992-1996). Le French May Arts Festival aims at promoting collaborations and artistic exchanges between Hong Kong and French artists and audience. Le French May has evolved to become part of the cultural life of Hong Kong, an authentic artistic ‘rendez-vous’ between French culture and the zealous Hong Kong audience, local institutions, partners and sponsors.
