Hong Kong's much-loved and biggest annual winter spectacular, the iconic AIA Carnival, title sponsored by AIA, is set to return to the Central Harbourfront to celebrate its 10^th birthday between 18^th December 2024 and 16^th February 2025!

In addition to celebrating the AIA Carnival's 10^th birthday, AIA is also launching "AIA Alta Presents the World Circus" as its celebration highlight event for AIA Club Alta's first anniversary. Produced by the world-renowned UK-based creative and entertainment powerhouse, Gandeys Circus, and featuring a star-studded lineup of top circus talents from 12 countries, the Circus will deliver six brand new acts including a never-before-seen act to be premiered at the AIA Carnival's 10^th Birthday. Running close to 150 shows during the AIA Carnival period, and spanning the festive seasons of Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Lunar New Year, the holidays will be nothing short of magnificent!

 

Mr. Alger Fung, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Hong Kong & Macau, said, "We are thrilled to celebrate a decade as the title sponsor of AIA Carnival. Since its debut in 2014, this iconic outdoor entertainment event has brought joy to over 5.8 million people from the local community and visitors. We are dedicated to fostering community engagement and supporting the city's mega-event economy through AIA Carnival. We have donated over 100,000 tickets for charitable initiatives, enabling beneficiaries to celebrate the festive season with their loved ones. Additionally, AIA Carnival has contributed an estimated HKD 1.8 billion to the Hong Kong economy over the past decade. Looking ahead, AIA will continue this legacy of supporting the mega-event economy and spreading joy and creating memorable experiences for all, empowering everyone to live 'Healthier, Longer, Better Lives'."

 

Mr. Randy Bloom, Chief Executive Officer of Great China Entertainment Group, said, "In the last 10 years, the AIA Carnival has truly become an annual tradition for the people of Hong Kong and more. We have seen our youngest guests grow into excited teenagers. Couples who went on their first date at the AIA Carnival are creating new memories with their children. There are not many events that can span across 10 years, and it is our privilege to bring this event year on year, making it better and better. We look forward to sharing what we have prepared this year for the 10^th Birthday celebration of the AIA Carnival!"

 

For its 10^th Birthday, AIA Carnival will be introducing a curated selection of 28 classic and new rides, some of which have never been seen in Hong Kong. In addition to the return of a selection of the crowd favourites over the last decade, there will be new and exciting thrill seeker surprises, guaranteeing a fun day-out for the people of Hong Kong and beyond. Plus, everyone will be able to enjoy all of this excitement at the same price as last year!
