'Started in 1983, the earlier festivals were modelled on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and offered an uncensored open platform for all visual and performing art forms. These festivals became the backbone for the Fringe’s ongoing year-round programme. In 1999 the annual festival was repositioned to promote urban culture, featuring local and international performances and exhibitions. These encompass a wide range of arts disciplines: music, dance, theatre, comedy, the visual arts, film, literature, multi-media, cabaret, stand-up comedy, fashion and even food.
'These activities take place not only in the Fringe Club’s building in Hong Kong’s Central district, but throughout the city, taking the form of street fairs, parades, shows, exhibitions, and arts-related conferences, workshops, symposia and talks.' (from the event website)
