2022 Hong Kong Brands and Products Shopping Festival Opens Today

The 2022 Hong Kong Brands and Products Shopping Festival, which opens today (9 September), runs through to Monday (12 September) at the AsiaWorld-Expo. Organised by the Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong (CMA), tens of thousands of product options will be on display. As delightful as its name suggests, the Festival is more than just shopping. This activity-packed event is even bigger and better than last year and, promises to be an exciting one-stop platform for choice, value and fun.

Officiating guests at the grand opening ceremony included Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Mr Algernon Yau, Director-General of Trade and Industry Ms Maggie Wong, President of CMA Dr Allen Shi, Chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce Mr Yuen Mo, Chairman of AsiaWorld-Expo Management Limited Mr Ng Chi Kee, Legislative Council Member - Industrial (Second) Mr Jimmy Ng, Executive Vice President of CMA Dr Wingco Lo, Vice Presidents of CMA Mr Simon Wong, Dr Edward Chan, Mr Dennis Ng, Dr Ma Kai Yum, Mr Jackson Leung, Mr Calvin Chan, Mr Robert Lok and CEO of CMA Dr Ralph Chow.

President of CMA Dr Allen Shi said, “After an incredible response to the first edition, this year’s Festival has 30% more booths, reflecting the confidence of our exhibitors. To avoid disappointing them and attendees, even more resources and efforts have been devoted to boosting the event. Apart from offering a full suite of shopping experiences for all manner of tastes, lifestyles, healthcare and gifting needs, it also offers a stunning line-up of amusing activities and stage performances. The Festival’s centrepiece is undoubtedly the special themed zones in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland and the 88th anniversary of CMA, aiming to bring people both young and old to “step into” the historical settings of Hong Kong and explore the old days. I’m sure that the whole family will enjoy soaking up the exciting atmosphere on this holiday.”

Alongside the 350 product booths distributed in 6 themed zones, a full-fledged programme is being arranged for visitors to get into the spirit of the Mid-Autumn festival. These include stage performances, parent and child workshops and lucky draws, with prizes totalling over HK$1.3 million.
