In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department collaborates with the consulate-generals of many countries in Hong Kong in staging "International Ethnic Cultural Performances". With "the Art of Masks" as its theme, the programme showcases the unique cultures and artistic talents of the various countries through colourful folk music and dance, in an attempt to foster the bond among different ethnic groups.

In addition to the events at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, three episodes of online programmes will be launched on the Community Programmes Office's website to bring the cultural riches to a wider audience.
