Village Fest is back for 2022!
1st January 2022 (Saturday)
After a virtual edition last year, Village Fest is back for 2022, running from January to April with a showcase of village life through tours, placemaking installations, market and activities across Lai Chi Wo, Mui Tsz Lam and Kop Tong. Hosted by the HSBC Rural Sustainability Programme, Village Fest comes to its third annual celebration of sustainable rural regeneration in Hong Kong.
Themed “Tomorrow Village Today”, this year’s Village Fest brings you on a village living journey through exploration, sharing, experiment, co-creation and reflection. Four core events include self-guided “Village Tour”; “Village Market” that is held every first Saturday of each month; experimental “Village life Lab” and urban “Village pop-up Market”. Making reference to the rural living experiences of Lai Chi Wo, Mui Tsz Lam and Kop Tong, Village Fest 2022 invites you and those in the local communities to envision the village of tomorrow today!

Due to the latest disease prevention measures, all workshops scheduled in January of “Village Fest 2022: Tomorrow Village Today ” will be postponed and public registration will not be accepted temporarily.

Forest Village Festival 2024
The “Forest Village Festival” is an annual celebration organised towards the year-end to provide fun-filled events for the public to appreciate the revitalisation effort of Mui Tsz Lam and Kop Tong. The festival offers visitors the unique experience of living with nature and culture through various thematic workshops, ecotours, and overnight camping. By featuring the countless natural, social and cultural capitals and assets at the two villages, we hope the public can be inspired and join us in protecting the valuable landscape of our countryside. This year, there will be a two-day carnival, a first sunrise of the year tour and a camping-and-trekking event to explore the rural treasures. The “Forest Village Festival” will be conducted in Chinese and details are only available in Chinese.
