To alleviate the impacts of the riots and cultivate joyful atmosphere, the government held the “Festival of Hong Kong” for three times in 1969, 1971 and 1973. From the opening ceremony to the closing parade, the Festivals aimed to bring joy to the people of Hong Kong through a wide range of cultural and recreational activities, including military performances, sports competitions, entertainment programmes, cultural exhibitions, which successfully attracted the attention and participation of thousands of citizens. Through various newspaper clippings from library collection, this thematic exhibition presents the stories of the Festivals in retrospect. |
