"This is the 16th phase of the Arts Corner at Hong Kong Park since its launch in 2002, and the event has been well received in past years. Apart from stopping at the Arts Corner, park-goers can also visit other facilities of the park such as the conservatory and the aviary, and spend some pleasant time there," a spokesman for the department said.
