After successful pitstops in Xi’An, Guangzhou, Beijing and Seoul earlier this year, House of Vans has Hong Kong in its sights for the grand finale of its Asia tour.
The scheme aims to bring like-minded people from across the world together, whether their poison is art, music, street sports or all of the above.
The three-day free festival is designed to encourage and celebrate creativity and youth culture, offering local communities the chance to showcase their talents alongside global acts.
As well as a fresh line-up of street art workshops hosted by HKWalls and Start From Zero, a half pipe will be built on the roof of Pier 4, highlighting skaters from teams in Hong Kong and China.
Meanwhile, the live music will be dished up by Gangs of Youths from Sydney, Nova Heart from Beijing, and Macbeth from Taipei. Representing Hong Kong will be local talents LMF, GDJYB, DJ Frankie Lam and DJ Yeti B, while 10 aspiring new bands have also been handpicked from the “Musician Wanted” open call.
A new addition is this year’s street market, set up in support of local creative businesses. Superstar chefs from Yardbird, Little Bao and 22 Ships will be there cooking up a storm and giving visitors the chance to try an exclusive collaborative dish.
