The four-month-long inaugural Chinese Culture Festival (CCF) concluded after bringing together over 4,000 artists from more than 150 outstanding local and Mainland art groups and associations from different provinces and cities to stage over 250 performances and activities in Hong Kong, covering music, dance, Chinese opera and multimedia, film screenings, exhibitions, talks, a carnival and other related extension activities. More than 900,000 participants joined the Festival online and offline.

The CCF, presented by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and organized by the Chinese Culture Promotion Office under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), aims to promote Chinese culture and enhance the public's national identity and cultural confidence. The opening program, dance drama "Five Stars Rising in the East", started with full houses for two performances, followed by the "Encountering Chinese Culture" carnival held at Sha Tin Town Hall and New Town Plaza, which attracted over 10,000 participants. The Carnival not only extended the charm of Chinese performing arts from the theatre to the community but also allowed members of the public to experience a number of intangible cultural heritage items and workshops with festive characteristics to appreciate the richness of Chinese culture.
