Debuting in May is the all-new Urban Jam Festival organised jointly by the Lee Gardens Association and the Wan Chai District Office and Council. Centred around urban culture, the programme is richly filled with music, cuisine, and lifestyle activations that will take over the Causeway Bay neighbourhood from 17 to 19 May and from 25 to 26 May. Spanning three roads and three corresponding themes, the multi-cultural event aims to showcase Hong Kong and Causeway Bay under a new light.
On Pak Sha Road, expect a tattoo artist, whisky and cocktail bars, modern and traditional Shanghai barbers converging for live demonstrations, vintage and new fashion brands stands, and vintage motorcycles on display, all part of the #UrbanCulture leg of the event.
Yun Ping Road is where foodies should flock to. #UrbanFlavors is synonymous with local food heaven—think local ventures such as Grandma’s Scones, Tai Ma Sauce, 101 Snacks Company, Healing Hermitage, and more, all gathered in one marketplace for you to enjoy.
Finally, on Kai Chiu Road, art performances curated to the #UrbanBeats section include instrumental concerts, live rap, break dance led by B-Boy Think, and an exciting rockabilly show by local legends, the Boogie Playboys. As for visual art, Hong Kong street artist Yim Chiu-tong will be creating a new piece for all to see!
