Freespace Jazz Fest

In October 2022, West Kowloon came alive with jazz and dance! The fourth Freespace Jazz Fest, a flagship music festival of West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD), was successfully held from 26 to 30 October. Bringing music fans to some 60 captivating performances by 420 musicians, the five-day feast of jazz is the biggest so far.

The music festival was presented on multiple stages spreading across venues in Freespace and the Art Park in WKCD. It was also extended to Wonderland, an outdoor space adjacent to Hong Kong Palace Museum, for the first time. More than 20,000 on-site music lovers and close to 6,000 online viewers immersed in the diversity of jazz music.

The atmosphere across the district was amazing and it was witnessed how the power of music can bring people from all walks of life together. There were crowds at Wonderland, Art Park, Freespace and Lau Bak Livehouse, and a huge round of applause for all the talented musicians who rocked the stages!

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it a very special event — stay tuned for the next West Kowloon music festival!
