Happy French Wednesday at Happy Wednesday
French May is in full swing, and Hong Kong is bustling with all sorts of Francophile happenings, including the highly anticipated return of Happy French Wednesday. Throughout this month, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is collaborating with the French Arts Festival and French GourMay Food and Wine Festival to present a French soirée at the Happy Valley Racecourse – it’s the place to be!
In addition to weekly back-to-back live horse races and the Sauternes Cup on May 28, the racecourse’s French parties will feature live music performances from sensational acts. Be blown away by MsLolo’s powerful stage presence on May 7, get hyped with the live band Deluxe on May 14 and 21, and don’t miss Leanne Jackson’s velvety vocals on May 28. Each week will also showcase mesmerising dance performances; expect to see playful Moulin Rouge outfits chic 1960s Saint-Tropez stylings, and dancers decked out in retro costumes.
Come hungry, as there’ll be plenty of food trucks offering French gourmet options as far as the eye can see. Pick up glasses of rosé from Whispering Angel’s dedicated food truck, creative cocktails, fine wines, or beer from 1664 Blanc-themed food trucks.
